As I’ve mentioned many times on this blog, Isabella frequently receives blood and platelet transfusions to help her recover after a round of chemotherapy. This blood is only available because people are generous enough to donate blood, and Isabella along with thousands of others around the country would be in trouble if there wasn’t enough blood.
Unfortunately, due to Hurricane Irene, many scheduled blood drives were cancelled resulting in a huge shortage of blood around the country. The American Red Cross is requested anyone who is able to head to their local blood center.
To find a local center, visit this web site:

Here is a short video from the Red Cross describing the situation:
