Whole Blood and Plasma Donations
$0 of $1,000 raised
We’re on a mission to rally all communities particularly communities of color to show up for each other, especially for those affected by sickle cell disease. By donating whole blood and plasma, you can make a lifesaving difference and support individuals battling this chronic condition.
Our organization is dedicated to empowering communities of color and supporting those affected by sickle cell disease. We believe that together, we can make a positive impact and provide much-needed support to individuals and families facing health challenges.
Sickle cell disease primarily affects individuals of African, Hispanic, and Mediterranean descent. Blood transfusions, particularly of compatible blood types, are often crucial for managing complications and improving quality of life for sickle cell patients. By donating blood, you can directly contribute to their care and well-being.
Blood donation is open to individuals who meet certain criteria, including age and weight requirements. Generally, donors must be at least 17 years old (or 16 with parental consent) and weigh at least 110 pounds. It’s important to ensure that you meet these criteria before donating.
There are four main blood types – A, B, AB, and O. Each type has unique characteristics and plays a vital role in transfusion compatibility. Understanding your blood type and its compatibility can help ensure that your donation has the greatest impact for those in need, especially in the sickle cell community.
Donate Blood: Participate in our blood donation drives and give the gift of life to those in need. Your donation can provide hope and healing to individuals battling sickle cell disease and other health challenges.
Spread the Word: Help us raise awareness about the importance of blood donation, especially within communities of color. Share information about our donation drives, educate others about sickle cell disease, and encourage participation to make a difference together.
Support Sickle Cell Warriors: Show your solidarity with individuals living with sickle cell disease by offering your support and understanding. Your compassion and advocacy can make a meaningful difference in their journey.
Together, we can create positive change and support the sickle cell community in their time of need. Join our blood donation drive today and be a part of something truly impactful. Let’s show up for each other and make a difference that lasts a lifetime.
Because when we come together, we can achieve anything. Let’s make a difference, one donation at a time.– Jessica Brown
