3. You can go to the Red Cross and to other blood centers as well...

I work at a blood bank. We all share blood products with each other when the need arises. We ship to several states. Just go to your nearest blood bank or call ahead.

between the explosion damage ( 50 to 75 houses and businesses destroyed)

8. I heard that the Scott & White hospital system is taking donations for people south of the area.

I wish that I could give, but I have a few too many medical problems to be a donor again.

My sincerest prayers for those who were injured or perished and their loved ones.
