Glad you are better....I wish a donor could give directly to a person, but evidently it all goes in the same bank...from what I’ve heard.
This is true. My friends and fam wanted to donate to me and they were told the same thing. They were directed to the Red Cross.
Ps. Thank you for donating. Seriously. Leukemia patients, especially acute leukemia, would all die quickly without transfusions. Blood donors have a special place in my heart. Please don’t think it’s a small thing.
