A touching story about one of our members who prepared well for an upcoming surgery – with relatives and Safeblood members on standby. She posted it on Facebook and allowed us to share it here as well. Thank you Janaia – you are a role model.

“In anticipation of my upcoming hip replacement surgery at Stanford University Medical center, I declined to sign the blood transfusion agreement, requesting that I receive blood from people who had not received the C-19 so-called “v*ccinations.”While waiting for the surgeon’s reply, I did two things to procure un-polluted blood. 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 safeblood.us, 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.

After turning to risk management, the surgeon agreed and issued an order for two units to be donated at Stanford’s 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— now that is a seriously generous friendship indeed!
