Donating one pint of blood could possibly save three people’s lives. Local blood drives, like the one hosted at Wayne State College last Wednesday, help hospitals give blood to those who are sick, in an accident or need regular blood transfusions.
“(I give blood to) people who need it, I feel like if I’m able to give, I should give,” said WSC sophomore Macy Grotelueschen. “Even though I’m scared of needles I still give it because people need it.”
Grotelueschen is studying pre-physical therapy at Wayne State College and is the treasurer of the American Red Cross organization on campus.
“When I was in high school they had blood drives so I helped out there, when I heard they had it here, I thought I’d be able to help,” said Grotelueschen.
She has given blood four times so far and plans to continue to give blood in the future, as a way to get involved in the community.
