I recently started volunteering with my states Blood Center. In RI we only have one organization that collects blood for the hospitals to use. I have been able to attend blood drives to thank the donors and at the same time, talk about my transplant story and encourage organ donation. It is a great informal setting as the blood donors come and go quickly. You may find you needed blood during your surgery or maybe during complications. I know I needed five units of blood while repairing some stomach ulcers I got during recovery in the hospital. Just another way for you to spread the word about organ donation and your story.
