Good News Stories – Northern Ireland Blood Transfusion Service

The first 48 hours were crucial... but almost five years later we have a healthy wee man.

We had never heard tell of platelets until I was in real need of them to help save my life.

I received 24 units of blood and blood products from over 70 donors during life-saving surgery.

I am so grateful for this service as it really helped me get my life back.

..I’m a young, fit mummy and with the amazing support of people donating platelets we now have three amazing boys.

Without blood transfusions I wouldn’t be here, never mind be well enough to do all the things that I love to do!

I will be forever grateful to the people who donated.

Without my transfusion, I wouldn’t be here today.

We can never thank the people enough who donate at all the sessions because really without them my 3 kids would not be here today, forever grateful.

I always knew that donating blood was important but not until it saved my life did I think about it as much.
