Amber

DeFuniak Springs, Florida

Amber is alive today because someone donated blood. That selfless act changed the course of her life, and the DeFuniak Springs mother is making the most of her second chance.

Previously terrified of needles, Amber is now a dedicated blood donor herself. She and her whole family donate together whenever they are eligible, and they hope you will too.

Complications after an emergency C-section left Amber with dangerously low blood levels. Doctors at Baptist Hospital Pensacola rushed to stabilize her.

““I had two bags of blood. I realized after I had that blood transfusion that if it hadn’t been for somebody who gave blood, then I wouldn’t have lived. And so I just sucked it up and I started giving blood so I could save somebody.”
-Amber

Amber shares her story in the hopes that it will help others understand the real-life impact they can have by donating blood.

“I am so thankful and so blessed that somebody, somewhere – I don’t even know who it was – donated blood, and it saved my life. Because I would have missed out on so much. I wouldn’t be here every day to watch my kids grow up.”
