Canadian GARMY saving lives!
Added 2020-04-28 01:49:57 +0000 UTCSo proud of Graham and Faye! ... Here's their message:
Ralph, the Canadian Garmy can also help out via the Canadian Blood Services COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma Registry:
https://blood.ca/en/convalescentplasma
...and the need for Plasma, Whole Blood, Platelets and Stem Cells is even more in need with the Corona Cooties scaring everyone away from donating blood; it's not like the rest of Healthcare suddenly came to a stop with a COVID-19 timeout.
Here's how I spent two hours in a chair shortly before I spoke with you on the lifestream on the weekend; that two units of platelets with a side of plasma headed off across the street to a waiting leukaemia patient that I have been matched with for the last two and a half months.
If you think the pandemic is bad, try navigating this level of stress AND with having a life threatening illness on top of it?
Should the members of the Garmy have some spare time right now, I implore them to roll up their sleeves and give the Gift of Life.
LMB!
Graham & Faye (Winnipeg, EH!)

I actually gave a donation last week! I got an email saying supplies are pretty low and they needed volunteers. Least I could do.
