When I was 17, I ended up in the hospital with severe anemia. We didn’t know what was wrong and doctors thought I needed a blood transfusion. I was pretty miserable. Later diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, I didn’t need the blood. But I was sure glad to know it was there waiting for me should I need it. When I finally became healthier, I wanted to “repay” those blood donors back even though I didn’t need a transfusion.. Please give if you can.
