Charlotte, NC.- Con la temporada de las fiestas tan ocupadas, La Cruz Roja pide a los donantes elegibles que hagan una cita para donar sangre o plaquetas para ayudar a satisfacer la constante necesidad de sangre en este invierno.
Se necesita donantes con todo tipo de sangre especialmente en estas temporadas que hay una disminución en donaciones de sangre y plaquetas. Como un agradecimiento especial, los que salen a donar entre ahora y el 8 de enero 2017, recibirá una camisa manga larga de la Cruz Roja.
El director de comunicaciones de los Servicios de Sangre de la Cruz Roja, Nick Gehrig, dice que, “muchos de nosotros pasamos las fiestas con seres queridos pero algunos pacientes la pasan en un cuarto del hospital. Donantes de sangre y plaquetas pueden darle alegría a los pacientes y a sus familias en donar sangre para ayudar asegurar que reciban los tratamientos que necesitan”.
Pingase la mano en el corazón, y en estas próximas oportunidades de donaciones de sangre, ayude a esta institución y haga feliz a alguien que está esperando de su donación de sangre.
