Do you donate from your body? For example: Are you an organ donor? Have you donated blood or plasma? Have you donated hair towards locks of love?

I donated blood until they said I could not do it anymore, because of heart pills that I take. My hair is just past my butt right now, and I am getting ready to donate it too. PMS

Every year through my car shop we donate two vehicles. I buy hail damaged, or lightly damaged car/vans at auction, and repair them. I open a yellowpages up to local churchs, and throw a dart at the page. Whichever church it lands on I go toalk to the pastor/priest/reverend and ask about their neediest family in the congregation. I meet personally with the family, and if they meet the criteria, I hand them the keys to the car/van, and pay the registeration transfer. I try to get the congregation to donate enough for a decent amount in fuel cards, and/or insurance for the vehicle for a year. Oh, and this year I donated something a little bit better that I got through inheritance to an organization, but it was actually a member on here who gave me the idea. Not from my body, but I used to donate plasma, does that count?

It is near and dear to my heart.

Fully furnished.

I'm an organ donor and I donate blood every 4 months. I can't donate my organs, they don't want them. I am a smoker. I find it too painful to donate plasma, or blood anymore. I did it for 4 years for my brother, and after he died I just couldn't handle the hospitals anymore. I know I am a chicken ****, but too many memories. It sucks too, because I am a universal donor. maybe one of these days I will get the courage to do it again. Props to you man, it is a courageous thing you do

Props to you man, it is a courageous thing you do My Dad had a liver transplant about 7 years ago. Gave him 4 more years. That's why I am an organ donor. Not going to take them with me. As for the blood - same thing, my Dad needed blood transfusions and it helped keep him around. If it weren't for those, I would never have been born. But I hate hospitals too man. Hate them!!! My work has a blood drive every 4 months. They come here so it is a little different.
