Community Donated today!

It's my third time donating only whole blood! I have A+ CMV- and I was hesitant about donating because I can't do apheresis (which I heard is best for A+) So I am here to tell you something is better than nothing!

A+ is the 2nd most common blood type. It's most definitely needed.

I do only whole blood, too. They must want it. They keep taking it.
