More updates on my friend. Janet got back to me and emailed me the info on how to donate:
Pearl –
Here is the info to donate blood for Blake. Please forward this message to anyone you know who also may be interested in donating:
Requirements: Blood donors must be at least 17 years of age, weigh at least 110 pounds, and be in good health.
What to do:
1. Call the Red Cross at 1-800-974-2113 to find out where the closest blood donation site is to you and make an appointment to donate (it takes about 45 mins to donate)
2. When you go there to give blood, you must tell them it is a “Teddy Bear donation” on behalf of Blake Harrison. Also, tell them that he is at Western Medical Center in Santa Ana in Orange County. (There are two Western Medical Centers in Orange County).
3. You will be able to fill out a card that gets mailed to Blake’s family so that they know that you donated blood for him. Please send it addressed to Blake Harrison at 720 N. Colfax Street La Habra, CA 90631
Thanks so much Pearl!!
love,
Janet
PS – Here is a website Blake’s mom set up so that friends can keep up with his status. The website isn’t quite up-to-date. He has gotten his entire left leg amputated (up to the hip) and now has used about 150 units of blood. The guy who hit him is currently still in jail for DUI, hit-and-run, and has previous warrents for his arrest.
