Bloodworks Northwest reports that at their blood drive at UUC at the end of August:

• they registered 94 donors,
• of those 94, nine were first timers,
• they successfully collected 81 units of blood components.

Here are some recent "thank the donor" quotes from recipients who have recently received blood products from Bloodworks donors:

• “I'm so grateful for your selfless blood donation. It literally saved my wife's life after giving birth to our first baby girl. Your act of kindness means the world to me, my wife, and our daughter. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
• “Thank you for taking time out of your busy life to donate blood. My husband has a blood cancer which destroys his red blood cells and platelets and requires transfusions every week to ten days. Your donation is giving my husband time for his chemo drug to start taking effect. Thank you so much for your gift of life.”
• “Your blood has helped my beloved dad feel better and recover from serious illness. Thank you for your selfless donation!”
