"Why Your Donation Matters

There are no substitutes for blood, platelets or plasma—they cannot be manufactured. Patients in need of blood or blood products must rely on donations from people like you. Those who are hesitant about donating blood for the first time often find that the donation process is easy and that saving lives is deeply gratifying.

One donation can save multiple lives. Here are the facts:

Just 1 donation can save up to 3 lives.
...
While 38% of the American population is eligible to give blood, only 2% actually donates." (https://www.cedars-sinai....-donation.html)

Perhaps getting the habit started in school will increase the donors. This seems a good thing. #IAmHereUS


The national blood crisis is due to various unforeseen events due to climate disasters and natural disasters. None of this crisis are attributed to our President since he does not control the weather or the healthcare system. Circumstances beyond our control is the cause. Blaming anyone for this shortage is just ridiculous. The blood needed is for our own hospitals not overseas. Please donate to help your neighbor.

From the article…

“The Red Cross pointed to “back-to-back months of worsening climate-driven disasters,” resulting in the cancellation of some blood drives, and a busy travel season straining the blood supply.

“Typically, during the summertime and around the winter holidays – and just after the holidays – most blood collectors see a dip in blood donations,” said April Phillips, a spokesperson for the American Red Cross.

Although this midyear dip in donations is not unusual, Phillips says another major factor behind the shortage is fewer blood drives being hosted at educational facilities like high schools and colleges.”
