September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness month, and The Visiting Nursing Association of WNY's next ConnectLife blood drive on September 3, from 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., will benefit Bella’s Brigade. The ConnectLife bus will be parked in front of the VNA building for convenient donation. We have times available. Sign up today!
Isabella “Bella” was the young daughter of Jamie Phelan, who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2016 and fought her cancer battle for 5 years. During the course of her battle, she endured two bone marrow transplants as well as multiple treatments of chemotherapies, immunotherapies and radiation.
Blood products (whole blood, platelets, plasma) were a life-saving necessity that she, and children like her, require countless transfusions of to keep their bodies fully functioning while receiving treatment. Your blood donation will help carry on Bella’s legacy, helping children (and people, in general) undergoing treatments. If you are able, please consider donating.
To make an appointment, please contact CWilliams4@kaleidahealth.org, scan the QR code at the bottom of the poster or call 716-630-8631.
Walk-ins are welcome! All presenting donors will receive a $5.00 Tim Hortons gift card, and a chance to win a pair of Buffalo Bills tickets to view a home game in the all inclusive M&T Bank Club!
Thank you for your consideration.
