Summary
The American Red Cross is in urgent need of blood and platelets as summer ramps up — it’s the “one hundred deadliest days,” when car accidents and trauma spike, especially among young drivers. Demand is soaring, with national supplies dropping thousands of units in just one week. One accident victim can need up to 100 units — every minute counts. Heat, travel, and school breaks are making it harder to keep up. Donate now — all blood types needed — to help accident victims, surgery patients, cancer fighters, and those with chronic conditions. It’s simple: download the Red Cross app, visit their site, or call to schedule. You must be 17+, weigh over 110 lbs, and in good health. Your donation could save a life.
