"Without You, I Wouldn't Be Here." Two Years of the Bloodworks Thank the Donor Program

*Thank the Donor tags have been attached to all Bloodworks Northwest blood products since April 2019, giving patients the opportunity to thank the person who directly helped save their life.*“

“Thank you for your donation to my son. He is undergoing cancer treatments and this is truly life-giving for him. We are forever grateful.”

Stop.

Go back.

Read that text.

That parent wrote it for a donor like you because that’s the life you create in the world when you donate blood.

Every time you donate, you can give HOPE, LIFE, and a FIGHTING CHANCE to a desperate parent, unable to save their child themselves.

A child with a whole life ahead of them that cancer has no right to take.

The good news? With you by that child’s side, cancer won’t stand a chance.

Your response to this truth is simple: Donate blood every 56 days. Make it a habit, a lifestyle, a religion, a cause, a point of pride, a Reason for Hope.

Because until a cure is found, parents and children like these will always need your help, with a gift that only you can give. So make your next appointment now; patients like this child and so many others can’t wait, so neither should you.

“My name is mom; teacher; animal lover; nature lover. My body is trying to kill me; your selfless act saved me. Thank you, a million times over; thank you.”
