Survivors in New Jersey have come together to host regular blood drives throughout the year, including for National Blood Donor Month and Maternal Health Awareness Day (January 23). Check here for updates about local maternal health events. For more information, please email casey@heroesformoms.com.
Did you know: According to the CDC, between 1993-2014, there was a 400% increase in pregnancy and childbirth related blood transfusions in the United States.
There continues to be a critical blood shortage nationwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has cancelled thousands of blood drives. It’s estimated that 9 out of 10 people will require blood during their lifetime, making it imperative that we work together to ensure an adequate blood supply. Join us at our next blood drive event and be a hero for someone in need! Mothers and survivors will be in attendance to share their personal stories and to thank those who give the gift of life.
