“If some of my blood or platelets could be there, so be it,” said Kulbaba, a former member of the military. “It’s in you to give. You’ve got the blood to spare. Give.”
Around a hundred new donors are expected to donate in the coming days, said Brett Lawrence, community development manager with Canadian Blood Services.
