Lindsey is back in the hospital, and needs blood and platelets immediately. If you live in the New York City area, you can make a directed donation for Lindsey, regardless of your blood type.
If you donate whole blood, Lindsey will get your red blood cells, and your plasma will be given to someone who matches your blood type. You can donate whole blood every 56 days.
Because platelets are not type-specific, Lindsey will get your platelets no matter your blood type. You can donate platelets twice within a 7-day period if there is at least 72 hours between donations. You may donate up to 24 times a year.
Nothing will be wasted; anything Lindsey doesn't use will be given to another patient in need. Donations must be made at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan. To make an appointment, please call Mary Thomas at 212-639-3335. When you leave a message for Mary speak clearly and make sure you say you are calling to donate for Lindsey Brass. For more information visit the Support section.
thank you so much for meeting this critical need,
The Brasses
