Done with my 5th blood donation 2 days ago. And it's my simple way to help others by saving lives.

The staff was great! I had to donate for a family member and could not find a sitter. I called and they said bring her along. When we got there the had toys for her to play with. They gave her a drink and snack and helped her understand what was going on. She was really excited to talk to everyone there and didnt want to leave!
