Thank you so much for the gift of life. This is the 4th transfusion I’ve received this month due to a form of unknown severe chronic anemia, I’ve had a lot of tests ran to find out what my diagnosis is & receiving blood each week has been helping me be able to continue working full time & keeping up with my teenage daughter. My birthday is tomorrow & I can’t thank you enough for probably the best gift I will have received to start off my 38th year of life. God Bless You & thank you again from the bottom of my heart!!

Thank you so much of your gift of blood. My father was in a motorcycle accident and needed lots of blood in his surgery. Without you, he would not have lived. We truly appreciate what you did and hope you continue to do it.

As someone who never expected to need blood, I am really grateful to you for being a donor. My veins are very tiny and not easily accessible do being “poked” to get blood is a big deal.

You are helping to allow my family more time with my 76 year old father… he was recently diagnosed with leukemia and without your platelet donation he wouldn’t be here. Thank you! You are so cherished and appreciated!
