807 Words4 Pages

And is it really a bad thing to give one hour of your day to donate and save lives. Your blood donation can be a lifesaver and that is rewarding feeling. That you know your blood is going out to help people across the nation and save people You even get a letter in the mail saying where your blood went and how it helped. Which reminds you of the generous donation you gave also you get cookies! Remember those 90 people needing blood I mentioned earlier, if everyone in this room was to donate blood we would be able to help those 81 of those
