HOW TO DONATE BLOOD

Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Judy’s Story

Lt. Col. Judy Jackson is a mother of two and has needed blood
transfusions twice to save her life. The JROTC instructor isn’t able to donate blood, but hosts blood drive at local schools to pay it forward.

Lisa’s Story

Lisa Bellinger is a proud mom. With four kids and a husband, life is busy for her. But in 2013, on the day her daughter phoebe was born, life almost ended for Lisa. She woke up to severe blood loss, two liters worth, which is about 40 percent of what our bodies hold. Fortunately, the right blood type was on hand for Lisa. She was given two pints to keep her alive.

Hayleigh’s Story

A Bonaire girl is one of only 600 people in the world with a very rare blood disorder, and it requires her to get a blood transfusion every three to four weeks. Two pints at a time, and four hours every visit.
