WHY give blood?
Rebecca Tervydis of Pleasanton shared her story of blood donations saving her life: “Because of my health I'm unable to give blood. but it is so very important for those who can give blood to do so.

I have a liver from my amazing Donor, Jake but, I languished in the Hospitals for four months. Much of that time I was just a 'blood transfusion' or 'blood product' away from NOT making it. I received 56 complete blood transfusions and 10 blood product transfusions while I was waiting for the Liver. If people had not donated that blood I wouldn't be here.”
