No seriously.
Right now, our local blood services has 5 units of O negative blood to support all of the metro Richmond area. And do you know why? Because people are not donating. It's a busy time of year folks, I get it. But think of how you can affect the lives of the sick and helpless. Think of it... 1-1.5 hours of your time positively affects three lives. 3!! So go. Put it on your to-do list. Pat yourselves on the back. Get a latte as a reward. But GO.
Just tonight, we've had to give products that are not exactly matching to people in the hospital due to the lack of resources available. The demand is outweighing the supply by leaps and bounds and with the holidays here, it's just going to get worse.
SO, specifically, if you are Rh NEGATIVE or type O. GIVE IT UP PEOPLE! GIVE.IT.UP. Go now! Run! You can do it!
