## Resource

The American Red Cross is in a blood emergency, with nationwide supplies at just one day’s worth—especially critical for type O. This isn’t just vacation-related; extreme heat, poor air quality, and foodborne illness are driving down donations. Hospitals across the country are feeling the strain as they rely on steady blood supply for surgeries and emergencies. The Red Cross is urgently asking everyone who can to donate—and offering a $20 Amazon gift card for August donors—to help rebuild reserves and save lives.
