Alexa Thomson is a nursing student in Buffalo, NY. She helps give donated blood to patients in need at our local hospitals. Back in January of this year, she herself received blood at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center.
She was first inspired to donate blood with ConnectLife back in high school after she heard from school faculty who ran the blood drives at her school informed her of the benefits of each person’s donation. She has donated both whole blood and double red cells.
Hear from Alexa about her experience donating blood…
“The donation process is easy. Donating blood is very rewarding and can help save lives. Having the blood I donated stay local is a big influence for my contribution to donate with ConnectLife as I know it will help those in my community!”
