Blood and Platelet Donors Needed ASAP
The Great Lakes Region of the American Red Cross (where we live) needs to collect approximately 700 units of blood each and every day to keep up with the needs of our community's hospitals. The need for blood and blood products never takes a day off. Locally, there is an immediate need for Platelets, a blood component used to treat cancer patients and others who are very sick.

Summertime is always a tough time for blood donations.  People go away for vacations.  They are busy doing many activities.  School is out.  The last one is the biggest problem for blood collection as blood drives at high schools and colleges are one of the most reliable sources for blood.

"Because somebody needs it."  That's the answer I give when they ask my reason for donating at the American Red Cross Donor Center in Flint.
