Do you donate blood? Yes or no? And why?
I try and donate as often as I can, which realistically isn't that often. Pregnancy and post partum, travel restrictions, illnesses etc but when I can do it I always feel good after. It's my way of giving back that doesn't take very long and is free!

I donate blood, but often I cant. Im a very difficult stick. I wanted to donate platelets (2-3 hours of heated blankets and Netflix TV and headphones? 😍) but 3 tries and no luck. I worry im wasting their supplies

I pass out easily with certain things so I’ve always been afraid to give blood!
I’m very grateful for people like you that do it!

Im too anemic for that but I appreciate everyone who donates 🩷

I can't, I don't meet the weight minimum. I'd love to one day though

I am on my 26th donation 🩸🅾️😊 *oh I missed the why! I am the daughter of a trauma nurse who I have always seen donate and I have seen first hand just how much it can help someone struggling! Even with my c sections I asked for them to recycle my own blood if possible and not receive someone else’s so I could continue to donate (obviously would have accepted if I really had to)
