As promised...
Most people I've talked to who haven't given blood have held off because they're afraid. Honestly, it's not that bad! Sunburns hurt worse, even mosquito bites hurt more...I'm such a big wimp, if I can do it- so can you!!
As promised here is are some pictures of the gift baskets that I brought to the hospital last night. I never got to see the reactions of the families who received them, but the appreciation even just from the nurses who held onto them for me was more than enough.
The little things really do go a long way and I can only hope that I've made someone smile or brightened up their day!
What kind of little things have you done lately? I'm just some girl... But we can do it together!
JSG's dad here. I can confirm that JSG does have a significant fear of needles, so, in my mind at least, this was a great act on her behalf. Partway through the process, JSG was in one of the booths where you fill out paperwork, but she was gone for ages. I had visions of her hiding under a table, afraid to come out to actually donate, but it was just that she has travelled quite a bit recently, so it took them a while do decide if she qualified to donate (she DID!). I'm very proud of her, not just for the donation, but for the entrie "randon acts of kindness" plan....xoxox
