Donated Blood to the - Boston American Red Cross
Friday January 5, 2024, for to celebrate my Birthday (January 9, 2024)
This morning I gave a blood donation to the Boston American Red Cross on Tremont Street in Boston Mass. I took the blue line train and got off at State Street then Walked over to 274 Tremont and GOSH is it COLD outside - it is like a winter polar VORTEX!
The young woman who prepped me and drew my blood is 26-years-old (same age as my daughter), her name is Shannon. I appreciated her kindness, gentleness, and ability to help me feel calm and at-ease.
This is my second year of giving Blood. I started on January 9, 2023 because my big sister Mary needed a blood transfusion to survive. When she shared that with me - I felt an immediate need/connection to give blood so that I could help save OTHER people's lives to. This is my way of giving back in honor of my sister - and in honor to all those who give blood and are saving lives too! You can give too - here is how. Call
