I’ve always wanted to be a donor if it meant I could help someone in need. But what really pushed/encouraged me to actually become one is my loved ones. Particularly my boyfriend/best friend and my brother. I had almost lost them countless times in the past... Each time is no less terrifying than the last — unsure if they’re going to make it or if this is finally what gets ‘em this time...
So I’m ever so grateful to the blood donors (and doctors) who saved their lives all those times everytime & it really inspired me to help save others too. Even if it’s just a small contribution, I want to do all that I can on my part to help make a difference in the world and to help protect the love in it.
