Meet Jon

Jon's bone marrow does not produce blood the way nature intended, and his immune system attacks and destroys healthy blood cells. He receives red cells and platelets every 5 - 7 days. Each of the donors in this photo has unselfishly shared an important part of themselves to help save his life.

Meet Joe Clipston and Family

When my husband, Joe, was first diagnosed with kidney disease, I was confident the doctors would cure him. In three short years, his condition deteriorated to the point he first needed dialysis, then a transplant. Joe's body rejected the new kidney.

Meet Kate

Kate is a cancer survivor thanks to chemotherapy and massive doses of platelets and red blood cells.

Meet Tyler

She entered the world at 26 weeks, weighing only 1 pound, 11 ounces. Her young lungs were underdeveloped and her white cell count was dangerously low. Thanks to local blood donors like you, Tyler went home to her family after 10 weeks and 3 blood transfusions.

Meet Madison

Only 16 hours after birth, Madison began losing excessive amounts of blood. She received 8 transfusions in 24 hours - the blood was from the Community Blood Center of the Carolinas. Thanks to community blood donors, Maddi is a happy, healthy little girl today.

Meet Doris

She was diagnosed with breast cancer in January of 1988. Over the next four years, she had 12 surgeries, including a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. Then in 2007, she needed another surgery to replace her aortic valve. She needed a lot of blood during those operations - blood donated by community blood donors at CBCC.

Meet AJ

AJ and his sister Amanda both have sickle cell anemia. This disease affects the oxygen-carrying capabilities of the blood, which deprives the body's tissues and organs of the oxygen they need to stay healthy. Both children depend on regular blood transfusions, made possible by donors like you.
