A lot of countries keep track of this information. For example, I can’t remember the country but when your blood is used you’re sent a message saying you helped save a life

I've had it happen in Austria. They text you something like "your blood donation from Y date helped save someone at X hospital today"

That's amazing, I've donated blood probably 6ish times, if I got these texts or emails I'd definitely be donating more often

Agreed 100%. "What gets recognized gets repeated." Adults have a lot of bad days, getting random text telling me I helped saved a life would not just give me a much needed boost but also likely to schedule m next donation.

I mean, if it helps, I'd be happy to text you affirmations from time to time at random.

There's something very endearing and intriguing about this concept- just getting an uplifting text from some anonymous person at random times to put a smile on your face.

No further messages or back-n-forth conversation, but just one quick message to brighten your day.
