Snacks. Cookies. Save a couple of lives. Why wouldn’t anyone want to donate blood? We at The Skyline View are in favor of donating blood, even if it is just once.
Donating blood is not only easy, it is virtually painless with the exception of a quick pinching feeling. While donating, the doctors and nurses are welcoming, nice, and genuinely happy that you’re offering yourself for a potentially lifesaving cause.
What we recommend in the effort to donate blood is that you donate once per year. Considering that your blood regenerates in full in about a month, donating every year shouldn’t be detrimental to our bodies and someone lying in a hospital awaiting a blood transfusion is sure going to appreciate it.
Also, who can resist snacks? Not us. Whenever one donates blood, the organization holding the drive issues snacks and drinks to the donor.
Another reason we believe everyone should donate blood is for insurance. If we all donate blood today, and then again in a year, and then again in another year, and so on, we are, in effect, not only saving others’ lives, but setting a blood donating trend that will ensure us that we too have an extra supply of blood when we need it most.
At the end of the day, you’ll have a full stomach, a thankful person, and a nice sticker to remind you of the noble deed you just performed.
