"I gave because someone gave for me."

Jennifer, plasma donor

"My name is Jennifer, I’m 31, and started donating plasma after I had children. While I was pregnant it was discovered that I was Rh negative, a condition in which the mother produces antibodies against the baby's red blood cells, and requires a plasma protein treatment throughout pregnancy.  Without the plasma protein treatment, I would never have been able to have children. 

"I got involved in donating plasma because someone gave plasma for me. Without it, I would not have my kids. 

"Donating plasma is my way of giving back to all the mothers who have the same conditions I had, who could not have had their children unless someone donated.  Being able to help others gives me a sense of purpose and meaning. I've been donating once a week for many years."
