A blood drive happening Saturday is set to honor two young women who were both victims of violent crime.
We frequently hear about how blood centers are needing more blood; the very blood used to help keep victims alive after an awful crime. The drive this weekend is the perfect way to help future victims while honoring a couple others who tragically passed.
Aniah Blanchard and Destiny Washington both died from gunshot wounds in Central Alabama. Blanchard lost her life in October 2019 while Washington died in December 2020.
Their moms, Angela Harris and Tora Washington, are hosting this blood drive in their honor. Harris says she worked as a nurse for 20 years and knows the desperate need for blood, especially during tragic situations like shootings.
