Every blood donation has a story, and this one hit especially close to home.
When OneBlood Regional Director Autumn experienced a medical emergency and urgently needed a blood transfusion, the blood that helped save her life came from generous donors and traveled through the hands of many dedicated OneBlood team members.
After her recovery, Autumn shared a simple wish: to meet the people who helped make her lifesaving transfusion possible.
That wish became an unforgettable journey.
From the donor who rolled up their sleeve, to the phlebotomists who collected the blood, the laboratory professionals who tested it, the biologics team members who prepared it, and the couriers who delivered it, Autumn was able to see firsthand the remarkable chain of people who work together every day to save lives.
“I didn't even make it out of the ER and they were rolling that unit of blood in to me. So I was receiving that blood in the ER within 20 minutes of arriving. It was an entire group of people that got the unit to where I could receive it and help save my life.”
-Autumn
What began as a single blood donation became a powerful reminder that every unit collected has a destination, and every role plays a part in helping patients in need.
Watch Autumn's emotional story and witness the incredible journey of a single blood donation, from donor to patient, and the dedicated team members who help make lifesaving transfusions possible every day. Because of blood donors and the people who support the mission, Autumn is alive today. And her story is a testament to the extraordinary impact of one donation.
