If you've followed my blog for awhile (or atleast since the twins were born), you are probably familiar with my birth story. If not, you can read it here.
During the twins' delivery, I hemorraghed and needed a blood transfusion - 4 units of blood. Without that transfusion, I would have died. One month later during Kendall's meningitis battle, she required a blood transfusion to increase her red blood cells. Without that transfusion, she would have gotten sicker.
2 needs for blood within 4 weeks.
Since those days, I've always vowed that I would give back so someone else could benefit from the blood that I donate.
The American Red Cross is always in need. If you are able, please consider making a blood or monetary donation to this worthy organization. They are currently assisting 9,000 families with temporary shelter in the post-Sandy areas. They can't do it without donations from the public.
They touched my life and I'm extremely grateful.
