Donors

"My daughter is a year and a half old. If she was laying on that table and needed the blood or plasma to survive, I would want her to have it readily available. By donating, I can help save somebody else's daughter or son, maybe even a mother or father, wife or husband." writes Raven in Canton, OH.

Our donors take their role seriously. Kimberly in Bakersfield says she donates "because it helps him and her today, helped them yesterday and will help us tomorrow. Giving plasma isn't only giving a bit of yourself, it's about giving life, giving hope. So to those that aren't (donating plasma) to those that need it ask yourself why? Why not give hope to that one person that tomorrow, perhaps, will give it back to you."

My reason for donating is to help those who may really need it. By donating, I know I'm helping save someone's mother, father, brother, sister, or any family member!

"Before my first time (donating plasma) I was going (to the center) to make some extra money. Then, I watched a video during my screening and I understood how many people need plasma. Now I go every week with a different perspective, and (at) the end of the day I realized that money is not the main thing, helpig others is." Thank you Andre in Rexburg for sharing your experience with us.
