Do you donate your blood?

Mine is either A+ or -, it's the opposite of whatever my mom's is because they had to give her shots when she was preggers with me so her body didn't reject me. I can't give blood because I don't weigh enough. They won't let me.

Yeah ^_^ I'm a regular blood donor who has been donating blood for the past 3 yrs ^_^ I find that it's rewarding because i can save lifes with my blood.. Though my blood type is B+, but i still believe that it saves ple too ^_^

I have never donated blood but have been meaning to do it. I know it is a good thing to do to save lives, etc. I would love to find out if they offer gift certificates or something, that would be nice. I have no fear of needles so that isn't a problem. Hopefull I will be able to and not run into any problems like others do sometimes. I do know my blood type though, I am A+ just like you!

I would love to, but cannot. I tend to pass out. But I do support those who can and do. Like my hubby. He gives frequently. I hope my daughter will be able to.

I don't donate blood.But giving blood is beneficial,not only to those who need it but also to the one who is giving blood.Donating blood makes you healthy,it's good for the body.

Oh,I feel very relaxed and even have jokes with the doctor when I donate the first time.I don't know why you all scared of that,maybe my spirit is nice that day!LOL~~

No I donot donate my blood. I am a very hard stick if you know what I mean.I know its important but I cant put myself through that. I would love too.

I have never been able to donate blood.I'm not afraid of blood but I just never have the chance and I think I will never have since I have some physical problem. I admire those who give blood for the sake of helping others and the essence of giving something that others don't have the chance to do so like me. But I despise those who donate blood just for the sake of money. Even though they help those in need the thought of having this kind of motive is a bit sad.

I challeneged myself to give blood a number of years ago, and have done it fairly regularly since, despite being terrified that first time. It's still not something I enjoy doing, but so far I've not collapsed in a heap so I'm a bit more confident these days! I think the last time I went was around Christmas time so I'm due to go again but I've not been around for a session for a while. In the UK they provide you with tea and biscuits afterwards. My son likes to go with me as the ladies in charge of the refreshments normally let him loose on the biscuit tin. What little boy wouldn't enjoy that combination? Watching blood and needles followed by unlimited biscuits!

I've never gave blood, but I would like to, I've been on the receiving end before, and I would like to encourage everyone to give blood if they can. My blood type is B- and they say that is really rare, I think the only other person in my family that has the same type I do, is one of my sisters, but I'm not sure if she would give me any if I needed it..lol. I had heart surgery 7yrs ago and I was anemic so I had to have 4 pints of blood before the surgery, I'm glad that someone was willing to give it, to help save another persons life. I always thought I couldn't give, because I'm diabetic also, but I know other diabetics that give all the time. Guess I'll have to check it out..

I donated blood already once. That was when I was still working in a department store in the Philippines. One of our loyal customers asked help for his son who has cancer. We are only 3 in the whole store who has the same blood type (AB) but only me who went to the blood bank to donate blood. That was long time ago. But I am willing to donate my blood if someone needs it...

Giving blood is the only sort of charity realated thing that I do. I'm not the most charitable person. My logic with the blood is that if one day I need it, then if I've been giving regularly then there is more likely to be some that I can use. Of course for this to work, there needs to be many more people with my blood type giving blood as well but at least I'm contributing. I know that my blood type has to be O because both of my parents are O but I don't know my rhesus factor.

I can't emphasize how important it is to donate blood because i use to work at a hospital. You would be surprised how many people that come in and want to get paid for it. but i look at it this way if i was dying and needed blood would you donate for me. I would donate for anyone in a heart beat. Some people in this world need to think of others than themselves because you never know what to happen to anyone. I dont think being paid is the way to go you should feel proud of yourself that you could help someone out that should be enough of an award.

One saying:the more you give the more you will achieve. some lifes live longer because of many blood donation, everyone should donate blood,maybe one day you need blood extremly .the rewand is not vital,if everyone give a little love ,world will become better.

I need to check and see if there is any reason that I can not donate. I don't think there is but have some health issues so I would have to see. My granddaughter gave blood day before yesterday. She is 18 years old. Who knows but what the blood you give might go to save a family member or a friend but even if that is not the case, it will go to help someone else.

I have tried to offer when a friend of mind need it. But, when I went to the red cross office, I didn't qualify!But, I love the idea plus they have said that it cleanse us also once we a bag of blood will be taken from us.

Never have donated but open to doing so. I'm O negative

I donate to help my relatives

I used to donate blood regularly - but now I have antibodies in it, and can't. This was due to them giving me a transfusion which went wrong. My three daughters all donate, though - so hopefully that makes up for me not doing it.

i donate my blood in my universty. i hope there are more chance because i know there are so many people need blood or they will die. my boby is a white blood cancer patient.he need to transfuse blood every time when he get the threpy. there are so many children need it.so i hope there are more people help them.
