Blood donations and organ & tissue registration on the rise
MEDICINE HAT – Many Canadians have been looking for some way to help following the tragic bus crash of the Humboldt Broncos in Saskatchewan.
The GoFundMe page for the victims of the accident has raised over $11 million with people donating from over 65 countries around the world.
Belinda Tomiyama with Canadian Blood Services said they have seen an increase in blood donations since the weekend, compared to this time last year across the prairie provinces.
“The week of April 8th to the 11th we had an increase of 226 (blood) donations,” she said.
