Abby’s Story — Give the Gift of Time 💙💚

"I’ve been fortunate enough to experience some incredible moments in my first few decades of life. Two that will go down as arguably the most important things I’ve ever done: donate my blood stem cells to a stranger, not once but twice!

4 years ago today, I visited Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin for my first donation. While I was not fortunate enough to meet my recipient, I find joy and comfort knowing that my donation was able to provide her another TWO holiday seasons with her loved ones.

The crazy part? All it took was 1 swab years ago at a tabling event to become someone’s match. This holiday season, I’m encouraging you to consider joining the NMDP registry. You could be the one to give families the greatest gift of all, more time together 💙💚"
