Have You Ever Donated Blood?

I went once to a blood bank, but for some reason, I did not stay to donate. The place was less than pristine clean in my eyes, and that was a good out the door for me. So have you and did you get paid for it?

I used to be a regular donor but due to my cancer, I could no longer donate blood and yes I was not paid for my blood.

@RebeccasFarm it hurts at first. I actually do not like needles so much but it makes me happy to donate blood. It's mostly for charity or someone needs blood. I will talk to my doctor if I can still donate blood now

I tried once but failed the test because I am anemic. Since then, I never bothered about donating blood.

No, I never donated blood. Donors will not get paid. They just get a drink.

If you get paid, it really is not a donation. I have always done American Red Cross, mostly through their mobile units. I had a specific location when we lived elsewhere that I donated platelets regularly.

I have donated twice. No cash payment but I did get a cup from the Organisation conducting the camp at our office. Yet it was years ago. Plus juice and chips for blood replenishment.

I haven't - but only because I was told (at the time) that I was underweight. Not sure if that still holds true, but I have been thinking about it since there is a shortage. I know people who have gotten paid for plasma.
