For 16-year-old D'Angelo, living with sickle cell disease has been painful, unpredictable and exhausting. But it has also taught him just how strong he truly is. 💪

"It has taught me to appreciate the good days, listen to my body and not take it for granted," says D'Angelo.

His experience has also given him a deeper compassion for others facing health challenges that may not always be visible or understood. 💙

Today, Walker is a happy, playful 3-year-old who loves helping on his family's farm and playing with his big brother. But when he was just 8 months old, he underwent heart surgery and needed two units of blood. ✨

There is no substitute for blood, and when Walker needed it most, generous donors made sure it was there. Their lifesaving gift inspired his parents to become regular blood donors, and they now bring their community together by hosting blood drives. ❤️

As we approach the 25th anniversary of September 11, we remember those we lost and those who responded and served in the days that followed.

We're especially grateful to the blood donors who stepped forward in the aftermath, waiting in long lines to help save lives. We honor that spirit of service by continuing to care for our community.

Donate blood Sept. 8 – 12 and receive a Heroes Supporting Heroes T-shirt as a thank you, while supplies last.

❤️ Blood donors make a real impact!

When Savannah was born at just 1 pound, 3.9 ounces, her family was told she had less than a 10% chance of survival. During her first 120 days in the NICU, she received 16 lifesaving blood transfusions.

Today, Savannah is a thriving 9-year-old because blood donors took an hour out of their day to help save lives.

📅 Donate blood Sept. 4–7 and receive an e-gift card as a thank-you.
