I always wanted to donate a blood to the Red Cross, but I don't think I can make it due to my anemia. What about you do you ever want to do this as well? Do you know that there is health benefit in return of your charitable act? Your blood will renew as if you are young again. Aside from that there are more benefits we can get, I don't know exactly what it is. Please share some information here. Have you tried donating blood? How did it feel? If I will be able to do this, I will have a feeling of fulfillment when you can do something to help your fellow through blood donation.

well i already did it maybe 3 times. two times for my relatives and another time for someone i never new and was just informed to me by a friend. well i didn't care who i have to share my blood to. what i care is for the better health i will get after, and of course, the way the nurses prepare the extraction of my blood. so as not to get sick because of some malpractice and/or negligence from their part. one benefit is that you get to have a record of donating blood in the hospital and if it happens that you become the patient in the same place, you will have a privilege of receiving transfusion as well for no charge. sort of like this idea. i just don't like to get the same. hehe. thank God, i rather choose to be healthy and share it everytime by blood donation.

I also want to donate blood as my father does every months but I am so afraid of needles that I cannot donate blood so easily. The needles frighten me but my father says that one day I will surely be ready mentally to donate blood because my blood can save another's life.

hi adeena, same as you i think i also have anemia. and sadly,we can't help other people who needs our blood. well,don't lose hope,my friend... if you really want to help others,there's a lot of opportunities out there to lend your helping hand. you can help someone even it's not blood. i also want to donate blood everytime my parents used to go to the hospital and sufferring from such heart disease.
