Donate Blood (Phase 2)

On September 11th and in the days that followed, people lined up to give blood. It was a way for people to help. Unfortunately, those people are now ineligible to give again, because there is a 56 day waiting period between times you can give. Blood has a shelf life of 42 days (except plasma, which can be frozen). So you can see how there can be a potential shortage of blood nationwide coming up soon.
I'm asking my fellow freepers who didn't give on 9/11 to "stand in the gap" and schedule a time to donate blood sometime within the next three weeks.

Bump for great justice.
If you didn't give blood in September, do it now, folks!

I don't think the U.S. will ever have a blood shortage again.
We are no longer complacent.

You're very welcome!

I think you are right. I know that I would never go give blood because frankly, I was afraid it would hurt. But I have always been aware of the need. I've worked with cancer patients and in ERs where the blood and blood products were the difference between life and death. On September 11th, when I saw all those people flocking to give, I was ashamed of myself. My husband gives every other month. I am resolved to do the same thing.
(ps: It didn't even hurt a little!)

Thinking of you today, sis.

And a pall upon the land;
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand;
Beware the People weeping
When they bare the iron hand. " Herman Melville
