👋 Meet Tommy Sablan, a San Diego native, hall of fame radio producer and business owner and K**I planner never thought he would need blood.

On February 13, he wasn’t feeling well and went to the ER. Doctors discovered a gastrointestinal bleed and kidney cancer. What he didn’t realize at the time was that he was slowly bleeding internally, which could be fatal.

Today, Little Tommy Sablan is doing well and is grateful to every blood donor who helped save his life. Your gift is more than blood — it’s hope, healing, and a second chance.

🩸Be the reason someone like Tommy gets another tomorrow.
