American Red Cross has been calling me frequently to tell me of their need for blood. Since we’ve been traveling we were not able to give. We’ve been hard at work the last couple of days with hardly having time to think about anything other than work. They called again today and I was able set up our appointment for both of us to give next week. We are both A Positive and I thought it was the most generic blood and thus the least needed; or so I told myself to feel better about not giving. I am not a fan of giving. I am light headed just writing this blog, but I know it is something we all need to do. I know I will be hoping others give when I am the one in need. The woman on the phone told me that our blood type can be given to cancer patients and newborns, no matter what their blood type. This was news to me. Just thought I might encourage you all to get out there and give. It’s been a busy couple of months for everyone and the blood banks are feeling it.
On the topic of giving, we will have some very exciting news to be sharing about plans that we have in action. Stay tuned!!!
On a side note: if blood makes you light headed never do the following…google the word blood for stock images to use on your blog. : )
