There is a very valuable gift that costs nothing and takes just 30 minutes of your time!
And if your mind doesn’t go today, June 14, which is World Blood Donor Day, we’ll talk about this great movement!
But what is the goal?
This special day aims to raise public awareness of the importance of blood donation and the role it plays
in the salvation not only of people, but also of animals, all over the world.
The blood we have in our bodies is vital for our survival,
but there are cases where someone may need additional blood due to an accident, surgery,
haemolytic diseases or other medical needs.
In such cases, blood donation can mean the difference between life and death for patients.
Cases where blood donation is also life-saving are disease treatments,
such as cancer, bleeding, and organ transplants.
However, there is a worldwide shortage of blood.
Often the needs exceed the available blood donations, especially for specific groups where the need is more urgent.
So World Blood Donor Day is a good enough opportunity to take action.
But what are the steps to become a blood donor?
Initially you must be healthy and between the ages of 18 and 65
(the age range may vary from country to country).
It is important that the patient has not recently received blood and has not recently undergone any medical procedures.
Then contact your local blood donor organisation or your local hospital
to find out more information and arrange a blood donation.
During this time, you will undergo a brief medical examination to confirm your eligibility
and then you’ll move on to the blood drive in no time.
After this procedure it is important to get some rest, drink fluids and enjoy a light meal,
to regain your strength!
He generously distributed hope
The whole process takes just a few minutes of your time, but has the potential to save lives and
to offer hope to those in need.
Of course, there are people who cannot donate blood, but they can also help in their own way!
So, if you belong to this category of people, you can spread the value of blood donation to your circle,
participate in events that promote blood donation or even volunteer with blood donation-related organisations.
World Blood Donor Day is therefore a reminder of its value and a wake-up call for humanity and solidarity.
With your contribution you can make a difference in someone’s life and give them a smile back,
that may have long since been lost from his lips hoping for a miracle!
As far away as it may sound to one’s ears to hope for a miracle, that is how close it can come,
so take care of you and your loved ones today and be the miracle that someone is waiting for!
