Justine completed her 4th round of chemo last week but is battling an infection and other complications as she recovers. This means she is in critical need of platelets.
The hospital’s supply of platelets is generally low, and platelets only have a shelf life of five days, so donations are always appreciated. If you’re in LA and can donate platelets, please call Raul at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles at 323.361.2441 to make an appointment.

Though I don’t personal know Justine, I heard about her through a friend on Facebook. I wanted to let you know I’ve made an appointment to donate platelets for Justine this Saturday, September 19. I know I have a great platelet count (have donated to the Red Cross a few times in the past) but I’m hoping my iron level is high enough to donate. Keep me in you thoughts and prayers!!
