Per Sam Watkins, “I started donating blood around 19 years old; it was a good thing to do. Tobye, my wife had Crohn’s Disease which began to become decidedly worse. She had routine blood work done at the lab and then we left to grocery shop. Then the phone range & I was told to take her immediately to the ER; she was immediately taken back. I recognized the blood product (probably platelets) and it stated, “Volunteer donor: American Red Cross”. A volunteer donor saved Toybe’s life!!! Since then, I donate as soon as eligible (blood & platelets).”
