Antoinette

Tallahassee, Florida

Hello, my name is Antoinette. I am a COVID-19 survivor. My brother Learnon Sr. and I contracted COVID-19, but Learnon didn't survive. Learnon passed away on Oct. 6, 2020, at 6:12 A.M. I was on FaceTime. That was one of the hardest things I had to do, say goodbye to my eldest brother. I dedicated my life to him for 85 days, taking water, lunch, dinner or T-shirts to him.

When he passed, I knew I had to do something to help another family. That's when I got tested for the antibody for COVID-19. I am so happy to help others, and I pray my convalescent plasma donations will help another family. I am donating for my brother Learnon Sr.
