Message My Donor

It is now possible for blood donors to receive an anonymous message from the patient who received your donation through our Message My Donor Program. Although not every patient will choose to send a message, all you have to do is donate to potentially receive one of these heartfelt messages.

“Even though the tag is anonymous, I think it’s really cool that the donor can be thanked for giving blood or platelets that are saving my life.”

Messages Donors Have Received

A simple act of kindness has the power to create a profound impact.

“Thank you for your donation! You have made a huge impact in my aunt's life. She has had a journey over the last year and still more to come, but I wanted to take the time to thank you for your time, donation, and assistance. Without you many lives could not go on.”


“I cannot thank you enough for your selfless act of love and care to donate platelets. I am a leukemia patient whose chemo treatment has tanked all my "good" blood counts. While my body is still trying to recover, it's thanks to angels like you who are keeping me alive, one bag at a time. God bless!!!”
