Imagine being the reason someone survives a life-threatening surgery or celebrates another birthday despite a chronic condition. This Giving Tuesday, you can give the most precious gift of all—life itself—by donating blood.
Don’t be scared: donating blood is not as daunting as it sounds. The process is quick, safe, and incredibly meaningful. In just 30 minutes, you can help save up to three lives. Healthy individuals aged 18–65 who weigh at least 50 kg and haven’t taken medications in the past 48 hours are encouraged to donate.
From December 2 to 5, the Bulgarian Hospital Association (BHA), in partnership with the National and Regional Blood Centers and BCause Foundation, is hosting a national blood donation campaign. This initiative not only honors those who give but also shines a light on the ongoing need for blood donors and the critical importance of organ and tissue donation.
Beloved Bulgarian actor Gerasim Georgiev – Gero, an ambassador of this year’s Giving Tuesday, reminds us: “Be generous and donate blood—it’s a simple way to make a profound difference.”
