Misc Donation Blood Holiday Drive (Nov 1 to - Dec 1st) **MOD REPS** **ADMIN REPS**

Misc Blood Donation Holiday Drive (November 1st - till December 1st) !!! *MOD REPS* *ADMIN REPS*

Due the success the previous donation drive had and in honor of the upcoming holidays and the true feeling of giving. I think we should have a "Misc Blood Donation Holiday Drive" every year to incitate Miscers over 18 years old to go and take one hour to donate some blood.
Most of us have the blessing of being healthy, sadly this is not the case for everyone and blood transfusions are used in numerous scenarios.

Q: Why should I donate blood?

A: Safe blood saves lives and improves health. Blood transfusion is needed for:

-women with complications of pregnancy, such as ectopic pregnancies and haemorrhage before, during or after childbirth;
-children with severe anaemia often resulting from malaria or malnutrition;
-people with severe trauma following accidents; and
-many surgical and cancer patients.
-It is also needed for regular transfusions for people with conditions such as thalassaemia and sickle cell disease and is used to make products such as clotting factors for -----people with haemophilia.

There is a constant need for regular blood supply because blood can be stored for only a limited time before use. Regular blood donations by a sufficient number of healthy people is needed to ensure that safe blood will be available whenever and wherever it is needed.

Blood is the most precious gift that anyone can give to another person — the gift of life. A decision to donate your blood can save a life, or even several if your blood is separated into its components — red cells, platelets and plasma — which can be used individually for patients with specific conditions.

Blood Donors Must:

Be healthy*
Be at least 17 years old in most states, or 16 years old with parental consent if allowed by state law – see more information for 16-year old donors
Weigh at least 110 lbs.
Additional weight requirements apply for donors 18 years old and younger and all high school donors.
Note: Healthy means that you feel well and can perform normal activities. If you have a chronic condition such as diabetes, healthy also means that you are being treated and the condition is under control.
TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL DONATION
By following a few recommendations before, during and after your blood donation can help you make your donation experience as safe, successful and pleasant as possible.

Maintain a healthy iron level in your diet by eating iron rich foods, such as red meat, fish, poultry, beans, spinach, iron-fortified cereals and raisins.
Get a good night's sleep.
Drink an extra 16 oz. of water or nonalcoholic fluids before the donation.
Eat a healthy meal before your donation. Avoid fatty foods, such as hamburgers, fries or ice cream before donating. (Fatty foods can affect the tests we do on your blood. If there is too much fat in your blood, your donation cannot be tested for infectious diseases and the blood will not be used for transfusion.)
If you are a platelet donor, remember that your system must be free of aspirin for two days prior to donation.
Remember to bring your donor card, driver's license or two other forms of ID.





Donation Type Donation Frequency
Blood (whole blood) Every 56 days
Platelets Every 7 days, up to 24 times / year
Plasma Every 28 days, up to 13 times / year
Double Red Cells Every 112 days, up to 3 times / yea


Meat is the faster source for Iron in your blood, use your Multi and you should be fine

NO EXCEPTIONS--------LIST WILL BE UPDATED DAILY-----make sure Date is visible too !!!! is not that HARD ask the nurses they are very helpful!!!
***** To prove that you gave blood : write your forum name on some paper and take a pic of your arm while giving blood (make sure we can clearly see your name) and post it in thread.**** we understand that some are not healthy or are in meds or just donated for those :if you can bring a friend to donate an take a picture will be as good, was talking to a mod, and he said as long you bring blood in you get greenz out --- find a friend willing to donate for the cause!!--

please focus in what is Important GIVING LIFE!!!!!

I'm afraid of both blood and needles so there is no chance I'll take a picture with the needle in my arm ( I can't look at the needle or the blood lol). I have no idea how I'm afraid of blood/needles since my parents are both MDs but let's just say that isn't going to be my path in life.


I'll still donate blood though, maybe I'll get you guys a picture of my needle wound after the fact so I don't get called on fraud.

[yuja]

[drumplayer]

Will rep, but I have actually been turned down for donating blood in the past. How about finding an organization to donate too for those who cannot give? Still goes to support the same cause.

[ElCaballo33]

Just made my appointment. I donated in the last drive during the summer and became a regular blood donor on that day. From what I read each donation saves 3 lives so this is not only a great cause but a life saving one. I'll be repping donors with proof.

[stevenjamesvick]

I'll rep all who donate. To make sure I get everyone, send me a PM and I'll give you my greens as soon as my recharge allows. Will be saving my reps to use exclusively for donations. ADD ME TO SAID POOL!

Also, will be donating as soon as the blood-mobile comes to my area.
