Most people want something for their blood. Every time I donate I see mabby one person there. Now if they offer free shirts or gas cards people are there in numbers. I do not understand. Some people even want to know who their blood goes to. I bet if these blood centers gave a thank you by name to each person who donated over the radio, they would no longer be in short supply. Sorry this upsets me. Everyone who can donate should donate. People can spare an hour to save a human being.

  I agree,I just cant understand some people.For some it usually takes them needing it before they realize they should start doing it and then sometimes that isnt enough.Sad!!!
