After tragedy struck a northwest Fresno family two years ago, three sisters are taking action to honor their late mother while helping the community.
“My mom would still be here today if she was able to get transfused quick enough,” said Jaycee Bear.
Her mother, Cynde LeBlanc, passed away unexpectedly two years ago because she could not get a blood transfusion.
Now, Jaycee and her sisters, Kaylee and Lacey Bear, are taking action.
They have organized a blood drive in Cynde’s name for the second year.
“One little pinch, you’re done,” Jaycee Bear said. “You’re here about 10-15 minutes, and then you can save up to three lives.”
She and her sisters are encouraging Valley residents to donate blood at the Central California Blood Center by September 15th. Donors will even get something in return.
