National Blood Supply Shortage

Posted on July 13, 2022July 13, 2022 by Shawnie Cannon

Another Grueling Semester Bites the Dust

You may have noticed there have been no new posts lately? That’s because I just finished up a hard class in school called “Interactive Graphic Design.” My actual major is web media and this is one of those required classes I grit my teeth through. ESPECIALLY when they said, “we want the designs handmade.” I’m like, “what?!!!” (I draw like a kindergartner on a good day.)

American Red Cross

Recently, I gave up my blood to a Red Cross blood drive held by my dear and close friends, Penny and Todd. Their 17-year-old son Elijah has undergone extensive chemotherapy for over a year. He has severe leukemia and regularly needs blood. This was their way of giving back to the community. Attending that event a few weeks ago inspired me to pick the American Red Cross for my Public Service Announcement (PSA) poster assignment (the final major assignment for this class).

Here are a couple more posters!

You might recognize this next one.

National Crisis

It turns out our national blood supply is at a 10-year low and undersupplied in several areas of our country. So give if at all possible! It’s easy to organize a drive. You can find a place to donate blood near you OR find out how to host your own drive by visiting www.redcross.org.

    Some years ago, I made a New Year’s resolution to give blood every eight weeks. It is a small thing that I can do that makes a big difference in someone else’s life. I’ve been continuing that resolution for years now and have started volunteering at Red Cross Blood drives in my area. I love your posters. They are beautiful. Great job!

      Oh wow! That is so generous of you. Bless your very big heart. It is not really that small of a sacrifice but how lovely you are about it all. Thank you, thank you!
