Every blood donation has the power to save a life — and our family is living proof.
In her very first week of life, our daughter Lucy underwent open-heart surgery. During that critical time, donated blood helped sustain her and gave her the strength she needed to heal. Today, she’s not just surviving — she’s thriving right here in our community, growing, learning, and living life to the fullest.
Blood donors made that possible. Every pint of donated blood can save up to three lives!
When you donate blood, you’re giving families hope during their most vulnerable moments. You’re helping newborns, children, parents, and neighbors receive lifesaving care when they need it most.
Please consider joining us on Lucy’s 3rd birthday, April 22nd at our upcoming blood drive in partnership with our local Pediatrics and Family Medicine offices. One donation can make an extraordinary difference — just like it did for Lucy. ❤️
