Show you care for your fellow man
Show you care for your fellow man
First off, no one asked me to write this letter. But I had a huge disappointment today. I went to donate blood and was told I could no longer donate because of a medical condition.
Make no mistake, I am not a hero by a long shot. I was extremely lucky to have blood that was compatible to babies blood so every time I donate it was for the neonatal babies struggling for life.
We hear so much about how to care for your brother man; could you please, please take an hour every two months to donate, at least try it once. If you have difficulty at least you gave it your best shot.
Take my word for it. you will feel very good about yourself and you should, you may have saved a life today.
