Holiday help: A call for West Seattle blood donations

Holiday weekends, unfortunately, are always times of great need for blood. So Kim at Puget Sound Blood Center says they’re hoping more prospective donors will make appointments for one of two drives in West Seattle in the next few days – tomorrow, there’s a last-minute mobile drive at Westwood Village (by Pier 1), 9 am-3 pm (closed 11 am-noon); Monday, they’ll be at PCC West Seattle (WSB sponsor), same hours. Walk-up donations will be welcome but if you think you can participate in either one, please call for an appointment ASAP – 800-398-7888.

    I know a lot of people that would be happy to donate blood as soon as the Red Cross and other organizations stop discriminating against people because of their sexual orientation.

    You want blood donations? End discrimination against an entire group and start banning those that have engaged in something that is truly risky.

    One partner for the last 5 years and I have a very rare blood type, yet guess what I’m banned from doing unless I choose to lie.

    Wow… something to think about, that’s for sure…

Sorry, comment time is over.
