🩸 The Red Cross has announced a national blood shortage.
If you’re eligible, please consider donating blood. One donation can help save multiple lives and make a difference for patients facing emergencies, surgeries, and serious illnesses.
❤️ A small act can have a life-changing impact.
We're facing an emergency blood shortage — our national blood supply fell nearly 25% over the past month. During a blood shortage, doctors may face difficult choices about which patients receive blood transfusions and who will need to wait.
We are in urgent need of donors to help patients who are counting on lifesaving blood following accidents, during surgeries, and for treatment of conditions such as sickle cell disease and cancer.
Help us beat the current shortage by scheduling an appointment to give blood or platelets: https://rdcrss.org/44nJnVN
