Ofrecen tarjetas de regalo para donantes de sangre en Filadelfia y otros condados

La Cruz Roja Americana busca abastecer su banco de sangre antes que termine la temporada de verano.

La organización está solicitando a las personas a donar sangre o plaquetas para reforzar el suministro de sangre tanto como sea posible antes de que termine el verano.

Los donantes de sangre tipo O y los que donan plaquetas son especialmente necesarios para ayudar a mantener abastecidos los estantes de los hospitales hasta agosto.

Las personas que donan sangre siguen siendo muy necesarias para apoyar la entrega de productos sanguíneos vitales por parte de la Cruz Roja, que tienen demanda las 24 horas del día mientras los hospitales trabajan para salvar vidas este verano.

Lo que ocurre cuando no hay donantes

Cuando menos personas responden al llamado para donar, el suministro de sangre puede reducirse rápidamente. Ayude a salvaguardar la atención necesaria para los pacientes.

Tarjeta de regalo para los donantes

Aquellos que donen del uno al 31 de agosto de 2024, recibirán una tarjeta de regalo de Amazon.com de $20 por correo electrónico. Consulta los detalles aquí y las restricciones que apliquen.
