American Red Cross Blood Donors
Annette Pancavage Annette just became a fan of American Red Cross.
Alanna Smith I have a question: my school is hosting a Red Cross Blood Drive on Tuesday. I am 5'4 and weigh 117 pounds. I was wondering if I weigh enough to donate blood? This would be my second time.
Diana Starbuck I am a volunteer and I love it!!! Knowing I have helped my community makes me feel so good!
Jessica This may be a silly question, but what should I eat/drink before donating blood? The first time I donated, I was fine. The second time, I nearly passed out, so I think I could use a bit of advice. How do YOU prepare for a donation?
Eeva Inkeri Marenbach I have donated blood for about 40 years. I feel good if my blood can help someone. It also feels good to renew my own blood supply every three months. I have heard it's beneficial to one's health to donate!
Ken Baldwin I never really thought about the need for blood until my son needed a transfusion on the day he was born. I've been donating regularly ever since. I'll get my 9 gallon pin on Monday :^)
Emily Jane Fernandez im not a big fan of blood but i have decided that i want to donate every two months. i go for my first one next weekend :) I just have to remember not to look at it while they're drawing it. i know of people who have needed blood and i just want to be apart of something useful.
Chet Woods I have committed myself to donating one type for a year then switching. Saturday will be my last double red donation for at least 2 years.
Ronda Time for me to donate again. Every 8 weeks. It's important.

I am a drive coordinator in Elwood Ne. I have leukemia and know firsthand how important donors are. I am asking for all of you to help me by voting daily through Dec. 1st. Please donate a few minutes daily to help me!!
I have entered a contest to get my dental work done. I am sending you the link to vote on a Daily b...asis. The chemo has ravaged not only my nerves and muscles but skin, bones, and teeth. I took a bite of a soda cracker and chipped a tooth. A couple of weeks ago a chunk just fell out without me eating anything. I have so many sharp edges poking my tongue and inner cheeks that it is very painful. If you would do this and pass it on to all of your email and Facebook friends it would be wonderful. Thanks so much for helping me!! Have a great Day!!

Leslie I donated whole blood for the second time last week. It's wonderful to be able to offer something so important! I'm O negative, so I will continue to donate.. hopefully for the rest of my life. :)
Miki White Gonna go this Saturday for the first time. Decided to bite the bullet and toss the chicken out the window..I feel good about this..
Sabrina Johansen Quick Had a slight reaction for the first time ever after last donation, but none after today's donation. Must have been a fluke. I shall return in 8 weeks to give another pint!
Kali Nichols
I've always wanted to donate blood but I never seemed to be available in the past; however I believe maybe it was fate because the oppurtunity has finally presented itself through my first born child. My daughter started kindergarten this year and the school has an annual blood drive in memory of a teacher's child who ...had died a long time ago of cancer - today a form came home with my 5 year old's folder and it was a simple piece of paper asking for people to set up appointments to donate. I went online and set up an appointment immediately. There are two personal reasons I'm doing this; one is that my daughter will get a special certificate signed by the CEO of the Red Cross of Connecticut and because I was born 9 weeks early and without several blood transfusions shortly after my birth I would have died within hours.Read More
