Your Blood Donation Can Help People Like Iris
At just 12 years old, Iris underwent major spine surgery to correct scoliosis — a procedure that required lifesaving blood transfusions. Thanks to the generosity of blood donors, her recovery was possible.
Today, Iris is a thriving journalist and filmmaker, using her voice to spread light and inspire others. She's deeply grateful to the donors who made her second chance possible, and she carries that kindness with her in everything she creates.
