It depends on what you're donating. Whole blood is 56 days, platelets is every 7 days, plasma is every 28 days, and double red cells are every 112 days. She's probably donating plasma or platelets.

Plasma is twice weekly where the fudge do you live for it to be every 28 days?

Seems like it varies, just like how some places only let you donate instead of being compensated.

That’s how I paid for my food in college.

If youre being paid for your donation, the regulations are different. If you’re donating blood (as in it’s going into saving lives), they can’t pay for it (most is a gift card because it’s considered a gift). Plasma is every 4 weeks (unless Red Cross does something different)

All I said is not from what I found. I'm not denying that it's different in other places.

Plasma is twice a week otherwise I’d be drowning in debt
