For years, Tina Garcia donated blood simply because she believed it was the right thing to do. A devoted volunteer and gallon blood donor, she never imagined that one day those same lifesaving donations would help save her own life.
After a routine colonoscopy led to life-threatening complications, Tina required multiple blood transfusions to survive. Following several days in the hospital, she recovered with an even deeper appreciation for the generosity of blood donors. Today, her story is a powerful reminder that you never know whose life your donation may save, it could even be your own.
