When you give blood, you help preserve, enhance and save lives across the Ozarks. Your gift of life benefits real people — neighbors, friends and loved ones — and inspires incredible stories of hope, healing and survival.
Stories like…
Mia received dozens of transfusions during her battle with leukemia. Blood donors helped her beat the disease.
Audrey lost 40 percent of her blood during an emergency surgery. She had the rare opportunity to meet the donors who aided her recovery and forever changed her perspective on giving blood.
Ainsley was born with a rare condition that prompted an immediate transfer to the neonatal intensive care unit. She received two blood transfusions, which may have saved her life.
