I took 8 bags of blood for one surgery alone so trust me when I say, we (the ones who receive the blood) are forever grateful. Something that takes 5 min gives so much more time to those who need. Plus it’s pretty neat to know your blood is saving or helping someone else! 🙂 I wish I could personally thank each and every person who’s I received.
+Lucky Lex It could take up to an hour to donate blood…, well, at least for me since I usually give double the usual donation (they called it the Power Red lol).
Sometimes it’s more than 5 minutes though.
+Bass Hart I have good days and bad days, I just get through the bad ones by knowing I shouldn’t have lived. It makes me appreciate the small things though!
+Lucky Lex you had a horrific accident in the past , how your health now ?
Lucky Lex
good mind set you have , i pray to our creator to help you get healthy and happy in you life , is there any lover or family member stand by your side ? forgive me if my inquiry is inappropriate or rude ??
I’ve given whole blood 71 times so far. I’m booked for another donation at the end of October 2016. If you’re healthy enough to do so, please do! It’s important for the health of people in your area – you’ll never meet them, but they will be grateful you did!
Congrats! You’ve saved over 200 lives.
Passed out while giving blood and my vein ruptured. Never doing it again.
What’s your count now!?
@Tanvi Khare I got to 73 donations, but I had to stop due to a diagnosis that excludes me, although my health is OK otherwise.
Unfortunately I cannot donate blood it makes me really sad because one of my friends has cancer and needed blood and I could help them
Thank you to everyone who donates blood! ??
You’re welcome 🙂
Good
You’re welcome ✨
Hollie Forrest I had donated blood yesterday
?tq
I was born 13 weeks premature and as a baby I had to get 12 or 13 blood transfusions and I wouldn’t have been here today without them ?
Leoni. Same i am a 23 weeker.
as much as i’d love to do this
im deathly terrified of needles
so…yeah
Same. That on top of me being anemic, donating blood is out of the question for me, although I would do it in a heartbeat if these factors were gone.
im terrified of needles but I am about to sign up
terrified of needles but I’m donating tomorrow guess ill just watch videos lol
Same. I hate needles 🙁
I’m afraid of needles too, but this barely hurts!!
When I was younger I thought it was donated to vampires.
that’s cute AHAHAHA
same?
Is it not?!
Jk
+Nicole Olagesin trust me …they do
I’ve had so many blood transfusions, thank you to whoever gave me blood!
How many you had ? 🙂
Why do have blood transfusions. My sister had to get one when she got a blood infection.
On behalf of all of us with autoimmune diseases: thank you so much! Your simple donation makes such a huge difference! Thank you so much!
People donate sperm for the first time
lmao ?
Oh god no
Yes
+Riwa Alayoubi REALLLY!!
I have to get my blood tested every 2 or 3 months because of the medicines I take, so they can make sure I don’t have anything wrong… So used to needles now, it’s not even a big deal. I suggest using headphones and blasting music while they take blood or while you get a shot. It really helps :3 Have a great day everyone~
I love donating blood. Every 8 weeks; next appointment in May. Last time I donated, Vitalant sent me a text that my donation was used for a transfusion, and I saved that message. It’s nice being able to help a stranger you don’t even know in a way that’s a life or death situation. Some people can’t donate for their own reasons, and you never know when even you or a loved one may need blood.
i’m really happy that they did this, as someone who receives blood transfusions every 4-5 weeks, because i have thalassemia major as well, i’m so happy they got people to see how much one bag of blood can help someone, because receiving blood can be life saving.?
I’ve been given a lot of blood for the past year and a half and probably will need more in the future. I just want to say thank you to anyone who has donated, even though your blood wasn’t given to me. Please guys, donate atleast once in your life, you will make a difference! Especially if you have a rare blood type like me
As soon as I watched this video I booked an appointment to donate next Wednesday! This video gave me the push I needed.
Thanks to all the people who can and want to donate blood 🙂 Remember that even if it’s not the best feeling in the world to have a needle in your vein, it doesn’t hurt as much as you think 😉 Yes, you can donate if you have tattoos, just wait at least 6 months after the tattoo to donate. Don’t forget to eat or drink before 🙂 And don’t forget that you can also sign up to be a bone marrow donor and an organ donor (after your death for the last one) it’s really important, your contribution can save lives ! 🙂 Thank you 🙂
I had a major amount of blood loss during a surgery when I was 3, a complete stranger saved my life.
Bless you and that man, I hope you’re doing well
Andrew 07 WHAT IF IT WAS A WOMAN
I hope during the later part of ur life u can gave back to the community. ?
Maddy ?❤️?
Aww bless you
I got leukemia and the day I got diagnosed I got three blood transfusions. Throughout my treatment I have gotten I don’t know how many more. Thank you blood donors everywhere! ?
i had cancer and got much blood from many people and i’m so thankful! Sadly i’ll never have the chance to do that 🙁 because of the chemotherapy you’re not allowed to spend anything anymore, thats so sad because i cant give my blood to other people and kids who go threw the same thing i did… FYI i’m 15 and just finished on my last chemo pills 🙂
i wish that you will get better soon!!!
i wish you the best of luck and hope you live a long healthy life.
Thatgirl345 thank you! 🙂 so far everything is looking good?
I wish you the best of luck as well 🙂 Stay happy!
I had cancer too but i never got chemo so can i do this? Im kinda oblivious sorry
The first time i signed up to donate blood, I was so scared that I didn’t even go! But I overcame that fear and I feel really proud for donating blood. :3 I’ve donated 7 times already and I’ll be donating for the rest of my life. Also, they give the most DELICIOUS cookies after your donation, and some places give out movie tickets and other gifts for donating. Give it a try!
My name is Sarah, and as a baby I needed a blood transfusion to save me, someone donated blood, and saved my life, whoever that mystery life saver is, I am forever grateful. I am not old enough to donate, but when I can, I will do it as regularly as possible . Thankyou so much to everyone who donated, as it brings me to tears as of how grateful I am to still be alive today.
