Help Save a Life
The Universal Church in Houston, Texas is partnering with the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center (giveblood.org) to help the community of Houston. During these uncertain times, there has been a great shortage of blood in the United States.
Blood donors are very important because they help save a life. The blood that is donated can be used in different situations such as organ transplants, complicated surgeries, and severe trauma cases. Here’s some interesting blood facts you should know about:
