Thank you! My wife had an emergency C-section due to my daughter bleeding in the womb. My daughter received a blood transfusion in order to survive dangerous hemoglobin levels. I had not donated before but have been as often as possible ever since. I'm headed towards my first gallon and I'm so glad people like you were already ahead of me in saving lives.

I wish I could donate. I know O- is super useful, and I wanna help. But I can't, so I'm grateful to you for what you've done instead.

That's so cool. I didn't know they gave out achievement pins. I need to step up my game now.

I wish i could just donate more at once. I am tall and heavy enough with good enough hemoglobin that i reckon i could easily donate twice as much. Feels weird that its just same flat amount for smallest and biggest people. I understand it propably does not scale 1:1 with size but still.

EDIT: amount that is donated each time is less than 0.5l in Finland, i believe regardless of size but perhaps there are size limits for smaller people?
