Hi fellow myLotters!
I recently donated blood (it was my 8th time). Once again, I had a chance to pick a reward for myself - there was a pot of honey, a large chocolate bar, a large box of candies and many other sweets, some mugs...

My stepson died this past weekend. He was 25 and an organ donor.
I did some reading about organ donations - one person who donates their organs can help up to 50 people!!! If a person is an organ donor, they can still be...
