I just received a request from a Thai friend:

The Thai Red Cross is requesting donations for O negative blood for a young 4 year old who is undergoing heart surgery shortly.

RH negative blood types are relatively rare amongst Thai's, but common amongst those with European backgrounds, which is why the TV community can help in this instance.

I'm attempting to find out where this child is undergoing the proceedure, but for the time being the Thai Red Cross in BKK would be a good place to go to donate.

Thai Red Cross
1871 Terdprakiat Bld., Henry Dunant Rd., Patumwan, Bangkok 10330

Copied fro mthe News Clipping forum:

Do you know...
- that only 3 out of 1000 Thais have Rh Negative blood compare to more than 5 out of 100 in foreigners.
- that it takes at least 2 days to process the blood ready for the patients.
- as of 25th of June, there are shortage of 50 units of Rh negative blood. Many patients of leukemia, cancer, accident and pregnant ladies are waiting desperately for their chance to survive. They need blood urgently to prevent from shock.

Donate your blood today to help increase the Rh Negative blood supply in Thailand.

Please donate blood at National Blood Centre,Thai Red Cross Society,Henri Dunant Rd.,Patumwan,Bangkok. Opening time of the National Blood Centre.

Still pertinent, still needed and worthy of the support of those with O-negative blood (like myself).

Wonderful, thanks for sharing.
I donated blood before and it was painless and actually a pleasant experience. The wonderful souls doing the draw were sincerely grateful that I was doing it and made it an uplifting experience. I felt pretty dam-n human afterward.
