Cliff will be getting platelet and blood transfusions periodically from here on out. I've set up a donor number if anyone would like to donate in Cliff's name. The blood and platelets don't necessarily go directly to Cliff, but it helps replace the bank. Also, each time you use Cliff's name and number it will give a $10.00 credit toward any bills associated with these transfusions. I imagine we've already hit the max with insurance and won't be receiving any bills for this, but I could be wrong.
The way I'm looking at it is that I'm helping someone else that is going through this. Cliff received one bag of platelets last Friday and from what I read it took 6 people to get enough platelets for that one small bag. Those six people kept Cliff out of the hospital this past week. He felt more energized and looked a lot better.
My point is that donating never crossed my mind until Cliff got sick. If you are able and willing I think it’s a great way to help others in need.
You can go to any Carter Blood Care location to do this.
