Last week, I was able to donate blood at a local place in Cincinnati, and during the check-in process, the staff confirmed that they serve the hospital where my mom was treated before she died. She needed so many transfusions after her bone marrow transplant and in the two months that followed, and I was always so grateful for the kind people who made that possible. I became a donor that same year (2021), but this is the first time I actually felt like I was repaying the debt—and y'all, it was a really great feeling.
