Blood Donors Help 3-Year-Old Survive Open-Heart Surgeries
PICTURED: Kailyn, 3, with her little sister, Lauryn
Lynn Holly Oates' three-year-old daughter, Kailyn, is alive today because of blood donors. She was born with a congenital heart defect and needed three open-heart surgeries before she was seventeen months old. Each time she had surgery, she needed blood transfusions.
"Because someone took the time to donate blood, my daughter had what she needed to recover," said Lynn-Holly. "Every time I go to the Blood Bank and give blood, I think about those other people who were sitting in my seat at one time, giving the blood that became a part of Kailyn. I'm extremely grateful."
Lynn-Holly is now a LifeSaver donor and gives blood whenever there's a special need for her blood type. To join Lynn-Holly in saving lives, call 1 888 8-BLOOD-8 or click HERE to make an appointment to give blood.
