Our mission is to share these stories so as to encourage others to consider making this life-saving “gift” themselves.

While we aren’t able to publish every story we receive, we read every story submitted and we will treat your story with the utmost respect for your privacy.

The Gift is a collection of heartfelt stories from real-life people who have been impacted by blood donations. Whether they were a recipient, a donor, or a family member, each person’s point of view has been shared to encourage “this gift” of life.

We would love for you to share your personal story here at The Gift. Your story will reach and touch many others in a way you could never know. That is the miracle of the sharing process. When we give the gift of sharing our story, we are gifting those with a different perspective, and hopefully encouraging a contribution of the heart themselves.

Perhaps you have been donating for many years, or a blood donation saved someone near and dear to you. Maybe you are a first-time donor, nervous yet happy to help out. You have a story to tell, and we are ready to hear it.

If this is your first time visiting us, please take some time to read over our Writing Guidelines, which will answer any questions you may have.  If you have additional questions, feel free to Contact Us.
