Dear Blood Bank of the Redwoods,

My wife, Nita and I would like to thank everyone at the Blood Bank for all they did while I was in Kaiser Hospital. 

From the first evening when my immune system was attacking my red cells faster than I could produce new cells and my body was in jeopardy of shutting down, your team worked so diligently to find a match for my blood, which saved my life.  Over the next forty days I required 58 units of blood and the Blood Bank did everything they could to ensure I had a ready supply.  In addition to all the work the lab did in matching my blood every 72 hours, many blood drives stayed open late to accommodate donors, and some of the employees even donated blood in my honor.  My heart has been so touched by you.

All the while I was in Kaiser Hospital, I felt sort of like the guy in the Verizon commercial with a whole army of people at the Blood Bank making sure I had blood.  Instead of “Can you hear me now?” it was more like “Can I have more blood now?” and every time the Blood Bank came through.

With all the turmoil going on in the world today, your employees are doing a “Good Thing”, they’re helping to save lives.  They’re just ordinary and caring people doing extraordinary things to help others, but they’re my heroes and we are blessed to have them in our lives.
 
With warmest thanks,
Hank & Nita Brock
