My Dear Friends,
There was a time that I need blood donation badly. At that time my father in law was suffering low haemoglobin level because he got urinal cancer. It was a holiday time, so blood was out of stock.
Everybody who needs blood had to bring their own blood donor. It was hard to find blood donor on holiday. Fortunately, I still have families and friends (great family and great friends like you) that help me find some donors.
But it was not an easy task to find a suitable person to donate their blood. Until 00.00 am, I could get 12 person to donate but only 2 of them were eligible. So I had to find other person since my father in law needed 4. And again, by the help of my family and friend I managed to gather 4 blood donor.
I found something touching my heart from this experience beside the help that I got. At the same time there was a mother that try to find blood for her baby. She was from a village out of my town. I could see that she was confused, sad, and exhausted. She did not know what to do since she did not have any relatives or friends around. Unfortunately, none of my friends or family could help her since her baby’s blood type is quite special (AB). I was sorry for her, and felt the same sadness. I prayed for her and her baby. I hope her baby would just fine after her operation.
We should promote donation of blood for good cause even when none of our relatives need it. It could help so many people. It could save lives. I hope there is no more run out of blood stock everywhere in this world.
Amen.
