Blood needed

Started February 5, 2008 · 5,485 views · 4 posts
With so many people heading down in the next 2 weeks I thought I would copy this from another board and post it here. I realize for some of you that no drinking for 24 hours could cause a problem but I thought maybe you could give some blood during your first day then you can all party it up and feel good about it.
I know that you are all tired of my emails with this same plea - but it is a very desperate situation here in the Vallarta area as there is not one single drop of blood and we are in high season with many hospitalized people - both international & national.
I beg you to PLEASE consider donating a pint! Think if it was you or one of your loved ones - same situation!
To donate please go to:
Hospital San Javier
Blood Bank - Second Floor
8am until 7pm
Nothing to eat or drink for 10 hours
No alcohol for 24 hours
Maximum age 62 BUT if you are in good health, you might qualify.
Please forward this to everyone on your email list.
For further information, please contact me at

Thank you!!!!

I can imagine how health care workers must feel when they do not have a drop of blood .

Just wondering do local people not donate blood..
Are there blood drives in PV like we have in Canada :?

I wish Pam the best and hope that blood is donated but I understand why when one is on vacation folks do not take the time to donate blood..
