Please consider donating blood if you are able to do so. There is a critical need right now. All of the people in the devastated areas are struggling to survive, and many blood drives are cancelled.
this is from the red cross website
"Hurricane Sandy has forced the cancellation of approximately 350 American Red Cross blood drives in 14 states along the East Coast, resulting in a shortfall of more than 11,800 units of blood and platelets thus far. Power outages and flooding in many areas will likely result in the cancellation of additional blood drives and platelet donations throughout the week"
You just may save a life.
