It’s Christmas Eve and it’s time to be mindful of the season and those we love. Today I gave the gift of life in the form of a blood donation at Blood Assurance the regional blood bank I work for. It seemed like a good thing to do to help others in this season.
My friends have a great Christmas. Be safe everyone.
It’s been awhile since my last blood donation. So, since I’m back in the old work neighborhood I thought I would go ahead and make a blood donation today. It’s not as convenient to do it in the new work neighborhood. Donate blood and save lives.
I work at a blood bank and try to donate on time every 56 days, which is when you are allowed to donate whole blood. Today was my day to give and I am always glad to do so. It’s important to help others this way. No matter what you can find your own ways to help others mine is to save 3 lives through blood donation.
On 14 June 2023, World Blood Donor Day will again be celebrated throughout the world. Officially designated as an annual event by the World Health Assembly in 2005, the Day provides a special opportunity to celebrate and thank voluntary blood donors around the world for their gift of blood and has become a major focus for action towards achieving universal access to safe blood transfusion.
It was another donation day at Blood Assurance. Today my blood type was needed because of a trauma situation in a local hospital. Giving saves lives and I’m always glad to give at the office.
