I Donate Blood

A Gift of Love

Do you know what your blood type is? Mine is O+. Today I gave blood for a client of ours.

I met this man once but he so impressed me with his honor and integrity. I met him under bad circumstances. He has a serious claims issue going on in his business and I had to deliver the bad news. I told my boss he was going to do one of 2 things, either argue with me or ask how he could fix the problem. He asked the right question.

When I heard he was suddenly stricken by leukemia, I asked how I could help. Today I donated and directed it to his account.

If you can, please donate. It really can save a life.

O- here, I can donate to anyone. It makes me feel even better when I go donate and they put my blood in the quad bags... Those are they ones they use for immediate emergencies where there is no time to type the patient, such as in the NICU...

i try to donate when i have the time...even more important when i knew who it was going to. the gentleman ended up passing not too long ago.

I'm sorry to hear that... But it was kind of you to donate in his name... I've donated about 100 pints in my lifetime... Just something I try to do 4-5 times a year...
