Donor Spotlight: Jackie and Victor Miller

Jackie and Victor Miller are regular platelet donors and are on a first name basis with the staff at their local American Red Cross blood donation center. 

Jackie and Victor book their platelet donation appointments together for every other Sunday morning and cheer each other on during their donations. Combined, they have donated over 1,000 units. They never miss an appointment and book well in advance to make sure the units are available for those undergoing cancer treatment.

 

Jackie notes, “It is our way of giving of ourselves in a way that truly saves lives and it’s something so easy to do for others.”

 

Work and family commitments – and even a pandemic – didn’t stop this couple’s commitment to give. Their dedication is the perfect example that everyday heroes can make a world of difference for patients counting on platelets.
