📢 A Family Stepping Up and Asking You to Join Them
Kimberly White recently became a blood donor. Kimberly was inspired by her mom, Darlene Hutchens, who started donating at 83 years old in honor of her late husband. After giving blood herself, Darlene encouraged Kimberly to join her, turning their act of kindness into a family tradition.
“I felt good about donating blood. My message to people is, do not wait until it becomes part of your story. Give someone life, extra days, help them with whatever medical issue they are facing,” said Kimberly.
Kimberly realized that it only takes a few minutes to make a lifesaving difference. Now they hope their story inspires others to roll up their sleeves and give the gift of life.
🚨 Right now, patients are counting on donors. The American Red Cross is declaring an emergency blood shortage as the blood supply fell nearly 25% in June. Blood donors are urgently needed to give now to help ensure patients receive lifesaving medical care without delay.
The shortage comes during the height of trauma season, when hospitals frequently see increased demand for blood due to serious injuries and other medical emergencies.
The most important way to help end the blood shortage is to book an appointment:
