I donated platelets for a neighbor who was diagnosed with a blood cancer a few years back. There were 6 of us who rotated through the process for about 4 years until a matching donor was found for a bone marrow transplant.

Since this was designated for an individual, there was no payment. The process takes a couple of hours, can leave you feeling a little light headed and tired for a day or two.
