Donate Blood to Help Haiti

By Andrew Padula on Monday, January 18th, 2010, 5:47 am Comments

Yes, the tragedy in Haiti is epic and the suffering is immeasurable.

A need that no one seems to be addressing is the inevitable and immediate need for blood and blood plasma. This is one humanitarian gesture that requires a little more than a text message or a checkbook. It will take 20 min of your time and the use of your arm to save lives. The tragic H.I.V. epidemic in Haiti only exacerbates the problem thus making the need for individual sacrifice of critical importance.

If you live in the Southern U.S., please click on this link and contact The Red Cross so you can donate blood and save lives.

    i live in Chicago and would so want to donate my blood , plasma, platelets for Haiti relief. I donate it here. Is there a way that i could be part of donation in IL that i could go to, so it goes to Haiti. Surely they fly a plane from here to the south or wherever with such supplies. Please tell me if you know
  • For those people it seems that the nightmare begins now. Without water and food, no hospitals, no blood, the number of victims will be much higher. Let's hope people will be united.

    It's fine to give blood now, but the thought to give blood occurs to a lot of people right after a natural disaster. Blood banks may be quite full as a result. It may actually be more important to circle a date 6 months from now and give blood then. (Though one could, of course, give both now and then and a time or two in between.)
