One blood donation can help save up to three lives. That means a lot to patients in need.
A few weeks ago, Kim received many units of blood and asked that we give blood to help others. Every time I visited her at the hospital, I asked what we could do to help – and this is what she asked us to do. We tried to set up a blood drive at Mt. Sylvan United Methodist Church, but were unable to get a date to host a drive at our church.
I want to personally encourage members of Mt. Sylvan UMC and other friends of Kim to seek out Red Cross branches through this campaign in memory of Kim to benefit the many who are fighting their own medical battles. While we were discouraged at not being able to bring this event to Mt. Sylvan, we still want to share this opportunity to do something in memory of Kim that will make a difference in many other lives.
Giving blood through this campaign will ensure that patients receive the life saving blood they need. Make and keep an appointment to give blood to the American Red Cross.
Challenge your friends (or anyone for that matter) to a friendly competition! Who will win the battle to do the most social good for your community?
Put your virtual blood drive campaign against one or even multiple other campaigns to see who can recruit more blood donors for the American Red Cross.
