World Cup Madness, Blood Shortage

Kansas City’s World Cup buzz is causing a blood shortage—down to just three days’ supply when they need a seven-day buffer. With donations plummeting since the festivities began, hospitals are tightening usage as emergencies loom. Over 60% of Americans are eligible to donate, yet only 3% actually do—each donation can save up to three lives. The Community Blood Center urges you to give before the July Fourth weekend: it takes about an hour, and you can find a drive near you at savealifenow.org. While you’re cheering on the World Cup, help save lives. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
