It has been so long since I started donating blood, it all began in the Philippines where there is a mobile service for blood donation and I decided to try to donate blood. The truth is I'm still afraid with the needle inserted to my vein but every time I close my eyes and think about saving lives, it goes away. When I arrived here in NZ as a migrant worker in 2014, I have started donating blood and I tell to myself that I have to do this not because someone is asking for it but its me that I want it.
