Be the Spark this Holiday Season
Your dedication to our lifesaving mission sparks joy in all of our hearts.
Thank you for sparking joy and being a beacon of hope to patients in our communities. Thanks to you, patients like LiLi and Divinity are living happier, healthier lives.
LiLi was born with pure red cell aplasia, a condition in which her bone marrow does not produce red blood cells. She received blood transfusions every 2-3 weeks for 3 years before undergoing a lifesaving bone marrow transplant. These days, LiLi is happy, healthy and enjoys playing outside with her family and friends. “We are grateful, thankful and fortunate, and believe in Versiti’s mission that rallies people around blood donation,” says Kati, LiLi’s mom.
Divinity experienced severe complications while delivering her baby boy, Tyree, and received a staggering 276 units of blood to control her bleeding. After a 21-day hospital stay, Divinity was finally able to go home and hold her baby for the first time. “This is living proof—two lives, mine and my son’s, were saved from the blood that was donated,” she says. “It makes a difference.”
