On September 10, 1993, a group of people I'd never met before saved my life—and my son's.
They weren't firemen, or members of the local police force. They were blood donors.
I hope my story will encourage you to give someone else the gift of life. As a blood donor myself, I can tell you there is not a better, easier way to touch someone’s life in a truly immeasurable way.
You can sign up today to donate blood through your local Red Cross.
Make an appointment right now by clicking below: http://www.givelife.org In 1993 my husband and I were ecstatic to learn that we were expecting a baby on Christmas Day. Everything was going well, until September 10. My water broke and the doctors had to deliver my son four months early. The doctors told my husband and me that our son had only a 20 percent chance of survival. I lost a lot of blood and it took several blood transfusions to save both of our lives.
Branden will turn 16 this year. He's happy, healthy, and a member of his high school's varsity golf team. To look at him, you’d never know his birth was anything out of the ordinary.
But that’s why donating blood is so important: tragedy could strike at any time, and you never know who is going to need your help. It could be your mother, your father, your husband, your wife—or even your child.
I was a regular blood donor before my son was born, and I’m still a regular blood donor today. In fact, I’ve already given this month at a Red Cross blood drive in my home town. http://www.my-redcross.org/ When I ask people who haven't given blood before why they've never donated, can you guess the response I hear most often? "No one's ever asked me before."
I’m asking you now. Please join me and donate blood.
Thank you,
Karen Kerr
