I've donated blood twice. If that's all there was to it, I'd do it more

But the incessant calling. I remember it being once or twice a month I'd pick up and it'd be somebody trying to guilt trip me into donating blood

Like I'd love to do it, but only when I'm free and when I want to. Pushing me to do it just made me block the number and never donate since then

I say block, because telling them to stop doesn't stop them from doing anything

    you can block the number and still donate even, like i get how it's kind of annoying, but it does actually help people, not to mention it's lowkey kind of good for you esp for the blood donations. i'm definitely biased tho, having an inflammatory condition and regularly donating platelets and plasma just helps my body not to hurt me so much, i'm done with a dono in prob 40min and i get a free saline and anticoagulant drip at the same time, try and catch me with a clogged artery. not to mention the socks and t-shirts, i do be rockin the red cross drip heavy.
