From rallying against polluters to lobbying for better healthcare to fighting injustices around the world, you try to do the right thing. It’s not easy to save the world. But there is an easy way you can have a positive impact. And that’s by donating blood.
Every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood. That amounts to approximately 38,000 pints of blood needed every day in the U.S. We’re talking a whole lot of blood. Blood is required in hospitals and emergencies treatment facilities for patients with cancer and other diseases, for organ transplant recipients, and to help save the lives of accident victims. Burn victims, premature infants and people with blood disorders and anemia are also in need of blood and blood products.
Just one pint can save up to three lives.
As much as 60% of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood, but as little at 5% actually does. Despite advances in modern medicine, there is no substitute for human blood. Healthy donors are the only source. For the millions of people who receive blood each year, your donation can literally mean the difference between life and death.
So maybe you can’t save the world, but you can help save a life.
