Amazing Story

Teagan's first donation

Teagan Mitchell
I made my first donation on 1 February 2017. It was scary for me as I have a fear of needles. I still donated, though, because I wanted to help save someone’s life. We all have a lot of blood but some people in hospital need more to live. I wanted to share mine with people in need. I have a common blood type; it makes me happy knowing I could save somebody's loved one. I will be donating again when I'm able to.
