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

I'd donate more often if my experiences weren't consecutively getting more and more uncomfortable. :/

Its definitely getting worse. I've donated to non-profits 56 times so far since I was 18 because I'm O- and feel obligated since it can help so many people (plus I can just pick up a 6 pack of cheap beer and get fucked up for like 9 bucks) and I definitely think the experience has become more unwelcoming and mechanical over the years

Wow, that's excellent! Sincerely, 56 pints of O- is saving lots of lives!

I donated to the Red Cross for years, until I had a monumentally crappy donation experience. After that I started donating at the children's hospital. The people there are so nice! It seems like they must select for that. "Have you noticed how sweet and pleasant Judy is? We should ask her if she will join the blood donation unit."

Look around for a nicer place to donate!
