Tis the season of showing love and O positive is a perfect gift. This is my first time as a whole blood donor and it was pleasant. It didn't physically hurt. There was slight discomfort but I believe most of the pain is Apprehension and Anxiety. Get rid of those A-holes, and it's all good. Staff professional and friendly. I forgot her name but she answered all my questions and then some. Gave me one of all the stickers she had for my girl, packed me an extra Coke, tucked a long sleeved tshirt into my bag and cheerfully said "I'll see you next month! You get a blanket in January." I'm a total sucker for a good blanket. Even better though, I'm a sucker for a good cause. Share your power, it won't cost you a single dime. What you give is invaluable and that philanthropic feeling you get from giving? Priceless.

The OneBlood Bus was at my office today and I took advantage. I normally work from home, but made…read morethe trip so I could participate. I'm a pretty good with the whole process of giving blood, but there are always a few nerves before getting stuck. My phlebotomist, Von, was excellent! Von chatted me up like a long lost friend easing any lingering nerves I had. She checked for allergies, told me when to squeeze, when to rest, and when to look away, if I needed to. Made sure I was doing well at every step of the way. Overall the Bus I was on was clean and appeared to be well organized. I interacted with everyone working the bus and all of them was both professional and a pleasure to communicate with. Offering instructions when needed, answering any questions, as well as ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. They offered both a Drink and a snack. There was a long sleeved shirt giveaway for donating.

We entered Blood mobile number 16 and were greeted initially by Courtney who I have to say put you at ease immediately with her genuine smile and outstanding customer service skills. She's required to ask some invasive questions but she does so in such a way that you felt comfortable and did not feel you were being judged. She was supportive, friendly, and most helpful in explaining the process. She truly is patient centered. Next I had Brian as the phlebotomist; where to begin with him? His technique was superb and in fact every time I have to give blood for the doctor I always end up with large bruises for days on end because I have hard veins to stick. Though the stick in my left arm did produce a tad bit of blood it did not work because I started to clot. Brian skillfully moved to my right arm and did so efficiently and effortlessly. I have to say that his technique was by far the best I have ever experienced because at the end of the day I had no bruises. The right arm flowed like the Mississippi River and they got what they needed! Overall I was most impressed with Courtney and Brian; one blood should be very proud and honored to have such fine professionals help someone make a difference. Thank you Brian, and thank you Courtney I will be back.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a Goodwill Donation Center close to my house. I typically have…read moretaken my donations to the Jax Beach location. I called ahead to ask if I needed to take my donations around back. I was advised there was parking in the front. When I arrived there were two designated donation parking spots. I took one of the spots as I had five large bags to donate. I got out of my car and snapped a picture for Yelp. By the time I check in and added my photo the front door to the donation center was propped open. A young man came out and assisted me with carry my bags inside. He then asked if I wanted a receipt and I advised yes please. He pushed a button on a machine on the wall and handed me a receipt with instructions for setting up a Goodwill account and completing an itemized receipt. Pretty smooth transaction. I'll drop off more donations at this location in the future.

Somebody answered and said "this is a donation center for donations." Ha! Parked in one of the two designated parking spots for donations. I thought that was convenient, not that people in Florida abide by such signs or rules. I grabbed a bag of donations and walked in to find an empty desk. I placed the bag down and peeked in the back. A lady was on the phone and held up a finger to me like "one moment." I went and got the rest of the donations and put them down on the floor. I donate without wanting a receipt so I left. That lady is probably still on the phone to this day.

Add donating blood and boom I have an instant 4 alarm fire going on. This is a special thanks to Ms. K. Smith for taking the the to talk me through the process, being patient with me as my first bp was slightly over the qualifying pressure and supplying me with all the free goodies that I received for doing such a simple act of kindness. The Big Red Bus was not only cool, cozy, and clean but a great source of service to be able to get out to areas that many people can walk or take public transportation to, adding a free fandango ticket and free appetizer is a great added bonus. See you in a few weeks for another donation! Kudos to this service and saving lives!!

After that I was on a very comfy chair. Alyson took care of me from start to finish. She is a sweetheart. Asked if I wanted a blanket, something to drink and if I wanted snacks. Once she was all setup to take the blood it was time for the needle. My veins are always shy and like to hide and it's usually painfully. But she got it in one try and it didn't even hurt! Thank you!! Once the blood started pumping I was done in 7 minutes. Then she asked what color tape I wanted for the bandage. What? I've never seen it in different colors! Then she brings over a basket full of yummy snacks, they have popcorn, and other stuff but my eyes went straight for the chocolate cookies so.... cookies it was! They were out of tshirts and she took my size down and will call when the order comes in. Then I was on my way! I'll be back in 8 weeks!
