I was the one who going into year 11 of school desperately wanted to be a donor after their birthday after having 3 transfusions due to cancer the year before, but finds out because they had a type of blood cancer they are ineligible so decides to become a junior ambassador instead and then at her schools sign up day walks around telling all her piers her story and convinces literally 11 times more students and teachers than normal to donate and is asked to go to all the events in town the Red Cross goes to to sign people up to donate, but 2 months later her cancer relapses so doesn’t get to do than and stops counting after getting 20 new transfusions (would estimate at least 50 total, but like I said, stopped counting at 20) and nearly dies instead.
Happy for the people who do as for me I'm terrified of needles absolutely not T^T I don't even like getting my blood drawn for testing or getting shots I panic everytime 🙃
I donated for the first time... I almost passed out, apparently i was surpassing the suggested temp after donating blood and wasnt hydrated and so I started getting tunnel vision and could barley talk.... never heard a nurse go crap before until I said I was nauseous 😂😂 They handled it well tho and kept me talking and conscious until I cooled off, lesson learned, dont wear a hoodie, and drink water 😂😂😂
And us: People who have a rare blood type, are strong and healthy would-be regulars who could save wayyy more lives than the average donor AND... Aren't allowed to donate because of an out-dated rule🙄
