The importance of giving blood: 4,000 donors needed to continue meeting demand | Stuff.co.nz

there is probably a bit more to this than the headline is giving. Feels like the context matters more here than people think.
I try to give every time I can, but it's not always easy with my schedule.
Same! But I feel guilty when I skip. Might go tomorrow.
4,000 donors seems like a lot, but I guess every pint counts.
I've been meaning to donate for ages. Maybe this weekend.
mate just go, it takes an hour max.
yeah nah I'd do it but needles man...
It's literally life-saving. If you're healthy, there's no excuse not to donate.
Donated for the first time last month. Wasn't as bad as I thought.
needles are scary but honestly the staff are great.
Sure but where's the money going? Blood banks aren't free.
My grandad needed blood after surgery. I'll always donate because of him.
costs are minimal, it's mostly volunteer run.
anyone working in this space has probably seen this coming.. Execution is what will decide whether this helps.
You can see why this gets traction with students and renters.. wait till facebook gets the importance headline. The long game matters more than a quick headline cycle.
yeah nah — that importance angle again
