Donated blood for the first time

[Kyrielight]

Today was my first time giving blood to charity.
I am terrified of needles and I get sick when looking at blood, but I did it anyway.
I gave 450ml of my blood witch is the standard amount, the staff told me that my blood could save the lives of 3 people.
While giving blood I felt sick and I hated myself for going there, but after it ended I felt awesome.
In 2 months I can give blood again if I want to, Don't know if I will.

So I'm curios, has anyone from the forum ever gaved blood to charity? If so, what was the experience like?

When I was in high school there was blood drives and I gave blood for a few of those. I only had a fear of needles when I was younger but I don't have a fear of them now. Had to take 4 vaccinations for a contract IT job in a hospital recently.

I've donated blood like 4 times in my life. Probably should do it more often, it's really not such a big deal and it helps a lot. Plus, here where I live they give you 5€, cookies and juice for doing it.

Check if your local hospital takes donations. I know some companies will go to schools and etc. and take donations then sell them for quite a mark up. If you donate to a local, non-profit hospital, they will save money!

 

Congrats on donating though. It can be pretty scary your first time.

Mate you are an awesome human being and a big motivation to me, the world would be a better place if there were more people like you.

I signed up for a donation and it's gonna be my first time ever, I hope it all goes well.

 

Can you tell us a little bit about what it feels like and what the procedure was when you turned up to the hospital?

Good stuff. Gave blood about 8 years ago. Got a bunch of free food and a tshirt.

Would do it again for the right cause.
