Give Blood!

Finn's life depends on the kindness of strangers who donate blood.

He gets red blood cell transfusions every two to three weeks.

It's a day-long process. Half the day he is connected to an IV.

For whatever inconvenience and pain there is, it is worth it--it keeps him alive.

Before a transfusion, when he is low on red blood cells, Finn gets pale and lethargic.

Immediately afterwards, his skin has a new pink hue. The red blood cells literally make him redder. His energy levels are like those of a typical two and a half year old the day after a transfusion, after a good night's sleep.
