i love that he organizes these, and try to go when I can, its a easy way to literally give your chayis to someone else. Unfortunately during times of tragedy there are lines of people looking to donate blood, instead I thought I will give whenever I can. If you’ve never done it, give it a try- and even though I didnt always love it – Ive gotten more used it it going again and again.
