Summary
Canada’s blood supply is in crisis, down 20% since June, with urgent shortages across key blood types. With summer vacations and lower-than-usual donations, hospitals are being forced to dip into reserves — and blood only lasts 42 days. Donors like Marie-Pierre and Angel are reminding us how vital blood is for accident victims and cancer patients. To help, Canadian Blood Services is adding weekend slots and even accepting whole blood at some plasma sites. If you’re eligible, book now — online, via the app, or by calling 1-888-2-DONATE. Quebecers, Hema-Quebec is also struggling — book at hemaquebec.ca. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
