"Donating blood is a small act of kindness that can make a big difference in someone's life." Blood donation is crucial because it saves lives. It is essential for surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. Each donation can help multiple patients, as blood can be separated into its components: red cells, platelets, and plasma. Regular donations ensure a stable supply of blood, ready for emergencies and routine medical needs, thus contributing significantly to public health. #BloodDonation #SaveLives #GiveBlood #DonateBlood #BloodDonors #BeAHero #LifeSaver #CommunitySupport #Healthcare #BloodDrive #BloodSupply #BloodTransfusion #PublicHealth #MedicalCare #HealthMatters #SupportLife #NonProfit #Charity #Volunteering #HealthAwareness #MakeADifference #GiveBack #HumanityFirst #EmergencyCare #LifeSaving #DonateToday #DHASuffaUniversity DHA Suffa University The Indus Hospital

Your donations ensure we can continue to provide free programs to people with epilepsy in BC including Project UPLIFT for depression and anxiety, HOBSCOTCH program for memory strategies, and the New Diagnosis Program for those with new diagnoses or who want to learn more about their condition. After struggling with memory issues after getting epilepsy brain surgery, one client found our HOBSCOTCH memory strategy program. After completing the 8 week program, he couldn't believe how much it helped, saying "This program has literally changed my life!" Through your donation you are ensuring that people living with epilepsy can take part in our free programs and have life-changing experiences just like this one! On Giving Tuesday on December 3rd, we hope you will visit https://bit.ly/473Xz5v to make a donation. Thank you for your support!

This isn't something I would normally post, but it's a great cause! The CHOP Philly Spin-In is this March and I created a team 'The Zippers.' Sounds like an 80's punk band, amirite? The raised funds go directly to the Cardiac Center for the Innovation Awards to develop programs and treatments that will improve long-term outcomes for kids like me with congenital heart disease. Innovation is the reason I am still here today. Last year I won one of the Innovation Award grants to develop the Transition Readiness & Awareness for Cardiac Kids (TRACK) program that provides support and education to AYA patients with CHD and their families to prepare for the eventual transition to adult congenital cardiac care. I'm paying it forward, and putting my shiny new pulmonary valve to good use, so we can continue to develop BIG innovations for little hearts. If you are in a place to donate to an amazing cause, please do. It means the world. And if you're local and want to join my team, let me know! Go Birds! #CHD #ACHD #clinicalresearch #congenitalheartdisease #TPVR #patientadvocate #nurseshaveheart #PhillySpinIn #CHOPcardiaccenter #zippersister #clinicaltrials #TheZippers #openheartsurgery #ForBreakthroughs https://lnkd.in/eMMp9syG

Congenital heart disease (CHD) affects millions of children worldwide, with many facing life-threatening conditions that require immediate surgery. For those born with CHD, access to specialized care is often limited, especially in underserved regions. This is where our mission at Gift of Life International comes in. We provide life-saving heart surgeries to children 14 and under, born with CHD, and train local medical professionals in these areas so they can continue the care long after we leave. This sustainable approach ensures that local hospitals are equipped to manage these critical cases independently, ultimately improving long-term outcomes for the children we serve. In many parts of the world, a simple surgery can make the difference between life and death. However, the need is far greater than what current resources can provide. This is why your support is so vital. Thanks to our dedicated network of global partners, we are able to fund these missions and make a significant difference in the lives of children around the world. Join us in the fight against congenital heart disease. Together, we can give children the healthy future they deserve. #CongenitalHeartDisease #PediatricHeartSurgery #GlobalHealth #LifeSavingCare #HeartHealth #Healthcare #Donate #NonProfit #Sustainability #ChangeMakers #GlobalImpact
