Lydia's Journey:
Our teammate Lydia, who was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor in December of last year, has been undergoing intense radiation and chemotherapy treatments and requires frequent blood products (whole blood and platelets) to maintain health. realizing there are critical shortages in the area. Bloodworks Northwest is the primary supplier of blood products to Seattle Children's Hospital where she seeks treatment with hundreds of other children. Your donation would be so impactful to the many kids fighting hard just like her. Thank you for your donation, it saves lives and means so much!!
