You’re not the only one who is ineligible.

You can still spread the word. 👍

I don’t know what blood type I have. How do I donate blood, and if its the right blood type, send it to Dragonbones?

I’ll find time to go - I hope you can, too Next week foreign residents are donating blood to say thanks to Taiwan’s health care system for keeping us safe. The media attention should result in overall blood donation to help alleviate the shortage of blood.

what the op needs is platelets with the right blood type. you need a record of whole blood donation to do your first platelets donation.

Just donate blood at your local hospital. It’ll go into the common pool; every little bit helps. Direct donations aren’t possible.

dragonbones also said this, but can you donate blood at a hospital? there might be a temporal or permanent blood donation bus nearby hospital, or some donation station might be in or next to a hospital, but i have thought you have to go to blood donation stations including buses, not a hospital. correct me, if I’m wrong.

Hmm, I was just going on what was said above. You may be right

There’s info here, including links to maps with locations

That is heartbreaking. 😞

Kent had been helping me and my wife’s family prepare for my brother in law’s impending chemo and blood transfusion and post operative care to combat his leukemia. He was simply amazing and the amount of information he gave us was incredibly valuable. He did it from his hospital bed and said he was happy to have something to do. 🙂

I was humbled mostly and left speechless, and he told me again and again that he would beat this. The man never let the darkness in. I was happy to joke around a bit and get a lol out of him, even then.

To Dragonbabe and the boys: I am so sorry for your incredible loss, but I thought you should know that this is the kind of man he was.

Caught this tonight in Matsu. Godspeed, Kent.

RIP Dragonbones…At least the Forumosa community got to chat with you & hear from you in your final days. You’re in a better place now. I lost my colleague just last mth to Liver & pancreatic Cancer 😢  
Condolences to his family and friends.
