Default Need help from Houston Blood Donors

I need a huge favor from you guys and girls. A very close family friend of mine has to have a liver transplant. He went into the hospital a couple of weeks ago and he had to have 6 units of blood and 4 units of plasma. Luckily, the hospital said that instead of having to pay for the blood they could just replace the blood with a ratio of 4 to 1. This means he needs to find 40 donors for blood (any type will work). Blood is very expensive and I was hoping that some of the guys from here could help him out. PM me for information on how to donate if you are interested. Thanks guys

I donate on a regular basis. Pm me the info if you would please! I would be more than glad to help out.

For people who dont know. If you donate blood, you can designate it to your family. You build a sort of bank in case you or a family member needs it. This is a great thing to do!
