There is a hero inside each of us, ready to make a difference when others need our help. Be a regular blood donor.

I had to cancel an appointment in San Diego, because I am working in Yuma,AZ. I didn't want to miss my opportunity to donate \_Double plates\_, the wait time between donations is longer than regular blood donations and of course I wanted my credits to count, I had called several times but only got the answering service, and they said the staff was in and out????Lucky for me, I'll wait till I get back to San Diego....
