Britani Madala update

I Need You to Be a Hero!

My mother called me today and gave me an update on Brittany. Brittany needed a blood transfusion; her blood is A- and the hospital didn't have any for her. They had to give her a B- blood transfusion.
We have a problem here that needs to be solved. I need YOU to make a difference and donate blood as there is a shortage. The following chart can provide you with information about blood types and what percent of the population has that type.

What are the most common types of blood?

Blood Type % of Population with this Type Who Can Receive this Type
0+ 37.4 ;0+, A+, B+, AB+
0- 6.6; All Blood Types
A+ 35.8; A+, AB+
A- 6.3; A+, A-, AB+, AB-
B+ 8.5; B+, AB+
B- 1.5; B+, B-, AB+, AB-
AB+ 3.4; AB+
AB- .6 ;AB+, AB-

I have emailed Brittany's family to give them a message. I told them to let Brittany know that I promise her I will make her need, as well as more individuals needs, for more blood a reality. Please help me to make a difference, and become a hero.
