Blood Shortage Crisis Demands Your Help | Richmond News

The American Red Cross is sounding the alarm on a historic blood shortage — just the second time in 145 years — with demand soaring across all patient types. One trauma victim can need over 100 units; it’s not just accidents — it’s moms, cancer patients, and more. Dave Redford, who nearly died after emergency surgery five years ago, survived thanks to donated blood — now he’s rallying Central Virginia and pool players alike to give.
