The blood supply situation is critical. Words like “emergency” and even “life threatening” all honestly apply to the current situation.
Please consider donating. If you've never donated, please consider becoming a donor. I've been doing it for over 20 years now and it is such an easy way to help others.
Call 1-800-givelife to schedule an appointment.
Here is some interesting information about the need for blood donations.
Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood.
The blood type most often requested by hospitals is Type O.
Sickle cell disease affects more than 80,000 people in the U.S., 98 percent of whom are African American. Sickle cell patients can require frequent blood transfusions throughout their lives..
A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood.

They are canceling elective surgeries everywhere because of the shortage of blood. They need the blood on hand for emergencies.
If you've ever known someone who needed blood, I think you would consider donating. I've known a lot of people who have needed it, and knowing that I have maybe played a part in helping them, is a great feeling.
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
every 56 days
do you have Red Cross out there, or blood banks? I know my friends in Ontario, Cali have blood banks.
You're in California, right?
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
Well it all goes to the hospitals eventually.
I knew you were in Cali because I saw you were going to the PJ20 movie and my friend Chuck (pjammin') is going too and I just love him so much, it made me jealous that you were going to be there with him.
it does???!!!!
Maybe I will see Chuck and say hi!!!
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
Well, I really meant I wish I could see Chuck. I'm not really jealous.
Please do say hi, he's hard to miss, he's about 6 foot, very nice looking and has the most beautiful blue eyes. And he's a sweetheart.
And a Pearl Jam fan, it doesn't get any better than that.
Awesome dude
He likes chicken quesadillas
Great, so does that mean I can count on you to donate?
