Be a Hero ???? Donate Blood. During my visit to the Philippine Red Cross headquarters, I did a simple yet meaningful act of saving lives – donating blood! Donating your blood to someone in need may just be one of the easiest ways to save a life. Because of people's hesitancy to visit blood banks during the pandemic, our supplies are worryingly low. Won't you join me in donating? ???? #GiveLifeGiveBlood The global pandemic may have restricted us from doing our normal routine but it should never hinder our passion to help and be compassionate towards our most vulnerable. ?
