Blood Buzz Newsletter – October 2024
Dear Blood Donor,
As we near the end of the year, we want to pause and reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared together. Your generosity has been nothing short of life-changing. Because of you, we’ve maintained a sustainable 5-day blood supply, and in our most urgent moments, you showed up – ensuring that we can continue to save lives hand in hand.
In this edition of Blood Buzz, we’re excited to celebrate some of the heart-warming moments from the past few months. Our ‘Hero’ and ‘Give’ campaigns have truly come alive, embodying the spirit of giving that runs deep within us all. Together, we are the lifeblood of hope in the Western Cape!
Inside, you’ll discover remarkable stories that will truly touch your heart. Learn about the incredible ways blood sustains life, including how unborn babies receive transfusions through the umbilical vein. Meet inspiring plasma recipients like Dannika Henman, a courageous survivor of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia, and follow the journey of a first-time donor as they take their heroic first steps. We’ll also shine a light on the dedicated individuals working tirelessly behind the scenes—those whose passion drives our mission to save lives. Additionally, you’ll get to see some of our superhero selfies and hear powerful stories that inspire and uplift us all.
As we embrace the season of giving, we invite you to be a lifeline to someone in need. Your donation is a gift and a reminder that compassion knows no bounds.
Thank you for being a part of our community donors and for sharing the gift that truly keeps on giving.
We hope you enjoy this edition, and always remember: you are REMARKABLE!
Till next time,
Toni Erasmus
