Last week we celebrated a milestone that’s nothing short of inspiring - Kirsty has made her 200th donation! 🙌

That’s 200 moments of compassion, 200 chances to help someone in need, and a legacy of generosity that’s truly remarkable.

Let’s all take a moment to cheer for Kirsty - a true lifesaver and hero in our community! 🎉👏

And a big thank you to Kirsty for organising the cake so we could celebrate this special milestone together - what a sweet way to mark an incredible achievement! 🍰💕

Today, we raise our wands to the truly enchanting Riley who’s cast a powerful spell of generosity by donating plasma today! 💫

Your donation is more magical than a Butterbeer on a cold day at Hogsmeade — and it’s helping NZBlood do real-life wizardry, saving lives in our community. 🏰💛

From all of us here, thank you for being the kind of hero even Dumbledore would admire.

You’re proof that kindness is the most powerful magic of all. 🪄
