The American Red Cross has issued an emergency appeal for blood donors. There is an extreme shortage of emergency blood across the nation. Dangerous heat levels and summer vacations are two of the factors influencing the shortage.
The blood supply has dropped 25 percent since July 1. Donors of every type of blood are needed. Type O positive, the universal donor type are at such reduced levels that distribution levels are at dangerously low levels for hospitals which depend on this .
Both types O positive and O negative are urgently needed.
The Bloodmobile will be in Nelson on Sept. 3. If you are able, please donate. It could save the life of a loved one or neighbor.
