Your Gift Saves Lives
Ella and Kamila rely on blood donors to treat beta-thalassemia major—a rare and life-threatening form of anemia.
Thanks to San Diego Blood Bank donors and supporters, Ella and Kamila can receive the lifesaving blood transfusions they need to survive and thrive.
With your financial support, we can continue our work in the community to ensure everyone has access to life-saving blood, including local patients like Ella and Kamila.
Patients are Grateful For You!
