First, my biological sister Terry, my soul-sister Rhonda, and my good friend Bill, all having the universal donor blood-type, offered to donate.Secondly, a friend gave me a link to <a href=\"https:\/\/safeblood.us\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">safeblood.us<\/a>, a Switzerland-based network linking donors and recipients of unj@bbed blood. I immediately registered and received in return contact info for about a half-dozen compatible donors living near me in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.<\/p>\n<p>After turning to risk management, the surgeon agreed and issued an order for two units to be donated at Stanford\u2019s Blood Center. We had only two days in which to donate! Everyone quickly sprang into action and made room in their schedules. The next day, we rendezvoused at the Stanford Blood Center. Rhonda and husband Peter drove over 150 miles to be there\u2014 now that is a seriously generous friendship indeed!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<p>As our departing thanks, Rhonda, Terry and I sang for the entire staff a Threshold Choir song, \u201cSo Many Angels\u2026all around me\u2026.So many Angels, it\u2019s you I see\u201d and \u201cThe Healing Water\u201d. We all were in a joyous mood, and delighted to share that celebration with those in the Blood Center, who work so hard to help save lives.<\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, I didn\u2019t need the Safeblood referrals, but I am eternally glad they were there. Now I am extending this opportunity to you: if you have not received a jab and want to help others, register with <a href=\"https:\/\/safeblood.us\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">safeblood.net<\/a>. And if you know someone needing surgery or who may need blood products, encourage them to ask for unv*xxed blood, and help them find donors in the network. The network lists not only individuals but also cooperating medical facilities. Let\u2019s expand the Safeblood network world-wide to help others stay safe and healthy.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Regardless of whether or not you are v*xxed, a blood transfusion from someone not v*xxed may be much easier for your body to accommodate than otherwise. Data are showing high levels of micro-clots after jabs, which is the last thing you want!&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This is the link to her original post &#8211; very interesting also the many comments&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/janaia.donaldson\/posts\/10160506329064493\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/janaia.donaldson\/posts\/10160506329064493<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[119,27,38,203,109,82,156,72,140,94,89,93,81,187,91,100,101,95,111,88,102,141,83,76],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/safeblood.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67428"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/safeblood.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/safeblood.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/safeblood.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/safeblood.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67428"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/safeblood.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67428\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":75906,"href":"https:\/\/safeblood.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67428\/revisions\/75906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/safeblood.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/safeblood.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/safeblood.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
