Thank You For Your Referral

Your referral helps patients who need closely matched blood, including people living with sickle cell disease. Meet Porscha below to see the difference donors make.

Referral received. Thank you for helping hope grow.

We appreciate you sharing this referral.

Helping us connect with more Ro donors can mean more compatible blood for patients who depend on transfusions over time, including those with sickle cell disease. Patients like Porscha need steady access to blood to keep living full lives. We’ll contact the person you referred to share information and help them take the next step.
