Paekura donates to help others

NZ Blood 300+ Donor 13.06.12 26
I first donated blood in 2017 when I was in high school, then a second time when I was in my last year in school. The first time I donated blood was to help the people who needed blood, so I knew by donating my blood I will be helping those people. The second time i donated blood was because my younger brother ended up in Middlemore hospital because he had Meningitis, so i thought by donating my blood again my brother might just end up with my blood if we were to be the same blood type.
