Very organized today with lots of volunteers from the church where it was held. I'm so grateful that never have they brought up or commented on my arms. They are both full of scars and brandings. It's nice to feel that I can give back in some way.
I am glad this went well for you!

I also have type O I cannot donate due to an exposure when I was young.

Blood donation is important. So often, blood/blood products are needed in order for some to have a chance to live.. I have seen this with a family member in the past. His survival depended upon donations.

I want to thank you for donating!
What a great service to your community!
