Meet Hannah's Great-Grandfather Hall. He is 80 years old and lives with his wife, Sally (my hilarious Grandmother), in Naples, Florida. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy for Lymphoma, a type of cancer that originates in the lymph nodes. About 2 weeks ago, he contracted pneumonia and was hospitalized. With no white blood cells to fight off the infection, he has already received 6 blood transfusions.
My Mom & Grandmother have asked that our family help replenish blood supplies, in his name, through the American Red Cross. As we donate in my Grandfather's name, he will be mailed a card to let him know of each individual who donates.
This morning, I was able to speak with an American Red Cross employee in Salt Lake City. She informed me that during the summer months, banks are always lower on blood supplies.
So, if you'd like to donate in Hannah's Great-Grandfather's name, send me an email at rebeccahdesign@gmail.com and I will give you the information necessary to make the donation. If you would like to donate blood in the name of your loved one, you will need their name and mailing address at the time of donation.
Donation centers can be found at: https://www.givelife.org/index_flash.cfm?thisHB=07/08/2009%2011:28:12.
