The Californian also did a great article about Bubba’s story.

Faast Pharmacy is having their first Blood Drive on Wednesday the 24th from 12:30pm to 4:30pm. But it’s more than just a blood drive. They’ve also agreed to give donors 50% off on all over the counter purchases! As if that wasn’t enough they’re going to take 25% of all proceeds from that day and donate the money back to Houchin!

Faast Pharmacy is really doing all they can to help out Houchin and our community, so please, if you’re eligible, come on down to donate, save a bunch of money and have fun!

We just received this amazingly heartwarming poem sent by one of our platelet donors. Thanks to Rick Isle for sending it in. So true…

Ode To A Blood Donor

No badge of service do they wear,
They live as “Heroes” unaware.

A person who rolls their sleeve to give,
Their blood to help another live.

Who gives without return of fee,
In simple answer to a plea.

That flush of health again may glow,
On cheeks of one they’ll never know.

Their blood a newborn babe may save,
From yawning brink of early grave.

That child, so weak and small today,
A hero’s role may later play.

Or one, a prey to accident,
By their life’s blood new strength is lent.

Their blood may help a surgeon’s knife,
To bridge the gap from death to life.

No, none of these will know their name,
Nor see it carved on walls of fame.
But, we who toil that men may live,
A hearty, humble “Thank You” give.
