I got a call today from the sweetest old man with Carter Blood Care. He gave me the regular spiel on how rare and in need my blood type was and where my last donation ended up. Typically (when I choose to answer the unknown number) I tell them I'll make sure to get in "sometime soon". For some reason thought felt extra inclined to take him up on his offer to donate today. He was the sweetest man and it would be a perfect opportunity for today's Random Act of Kindness.
After donating I actually realized that January is blood donor awareness month. So get out there and donate if you haven't in a while! Here's a great article that puts to rest some of the fears people may have about donating.
“Any time you can save someone’s life in less than an hour — that’s pretty phenomenal."
