Hello! Thank you for this announcement. I think it’s really important for all people who it needs. I want to add a couple of words. I took 8 bags of blood for one surgery alone so trust me when I say, we (the ones who receive the blood) are forever grateful. Something that takes 5 min gives so much more time to those who need it. Plus it’s pretty neat to know your blood is saving or helping someone else! 🙂 I wish I could personally thank each and every person who’s I received.
