Everyone knows this yet few of us are prompted to give. Blood donors in Sweden receive a text when their blood is used. Maybe that could inspire us!
To
encourage more young people to donate blood, Sahlgrenska University Hospital in
Gothenburg, Sweden, sends a
text to donors when their blood has been dispensed to someone in need. A
common issue with blood donation, along with other types of charitable
donations, is that if a donor doesn’t know the recipient, it’s harder to
convince them that donating is beneficial. But with this system, which started
in 2012, potential donors in Sweden have proof that their contribution is going
to good use.

The say that since many blood drives have had to be cancelled there is a great need right now.
soooo important, i am not able to donate, i wish i could!!!!

I give on a regular basis, and the blood bank texts me where it was used. All the kids and grandkids that can give blood, it is such a small thing to do for those in need.
