Made my first donation today. I’m doing my part!

I would if I could (I have incurable blood cancer and not allowed to donate blood products or organs). I will always be so grateful to those people who choose to donate and help others. Your donation really can save lives.

Still a few more weeks until I can donate next. Booked in for it now though.

I really want to donate again but the last time she managed to hit a nerve that ached for almost 2 years. The thought of donating again gives me a mini form of PTSD. It's like I can still feel the needle inserted.

Ok, I can spare 30 minutes. To be honest, I was due months ago, but it's so easy to be bogged down in the day-to-day and not get around to it.

It honestly only takes about half an hour, and you can book it on your phone and just walk in.

Boomers were the last generation that got the full PSA treatment on blood donation. More and more of them are dying or not healthy enough to continue donating, and quite frankly no one seems interested in getting young people to step up.

I wish I didn't have long covid or I would give blood very often. It's legitimately the most direct and least expensive way to save people's lives

I think my days of donating are over. I've been denied repeatedly for being lgbt recently despite it never being a problem before, so 🤷‍♀️

Their shitty app requires I auth every time I open it and it frequently decides my saved password is wrong.

Maybe more people would book in if their shit worked.
