Wildfires have caused the cancellation of Red Cross blood drives in Southern California resulting in the loss of nearly 200 units of blood. The American Red Cross asks eligible blood donors in Los Angeles and Orange Counties to make an appointment to donate blood by calling 1.800.GIVE.LIFE (1.800.448.3543). For Spanish, please call 1.866.POR.VIDA (1.866.767.8432).

Blood is needed for hospital patients throughout Southern California, including those who have suffered burns in the fires.

"The current wildfires have affected the collection of hundreds of units of blood," states Clifford Numark, Director of Donor Recruitment for American Red Cross Blood Services, Southern California Region. "We need people to step forward to donate blood and help make sure we have an adequate supply of blood and blood products for the patients in our local hospitals, as well as for those who might be directly affected by the fires."

Any healthy person age 17 or older, weighing at least 110 pounds, and in good health may be able to donate blood.

This website also provides additional information regarding the Southern California wildfires and what the Red Cross is doing to help.

Thank you!

hope comes from inside

the fires of '03-- i had almost forgotten about those. i didn't have any friends in SD back then... soco had cancelled a show and rescheduled it for december at soma.

i am doing the closest thing to praying an agnostic can do-- keeping you all in my thoughts, hopes, and heart. this is when i'm so thankful for technology, lj, the internet, sidekicks, etc. and its/their ability to keep us all connected in the most efficient way possible.

so far, i have heard that everyone appears to be safe, though a few of my acquaintances/friends have been evacuated. my classmate at school said her uncle in SD evacuated to one of the stadiums yesterday, her family is ready to leave their home at any moment. she watches the news (with the sound off, of course) in class to see where the fires are headed next.

apparently some idiot arsonist d.b. set the fires in irvine/oc. angers me to no end.

wherever you are (CA and non-CA), stay safe. xoxo
