TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — OneBlood helps save thousands of lives every year but it isn’t possible without donors.
“In life, I like to help people,” said one donor, Richard Davis.
Davis has been donating blood for 25 years. He’s a Vietnam veteran who witnessed a blood shortage and wanted to help.
“A lot of people needed blood badly at that time. That was the first time I ever donated,” said Davis.
Since then, you can find him in the donor room – kicked back, donating blood and watching TV.
“Well the platelets you can actually donate every week but you can only do it 24 times a year which is a lot of times,” said Davis.
A lot of times, and a lot of blood. Davis is just grateful he can help.
