Donor Spotlight: Rico Nevotion

Rico Nevotion made his first-ever blood donation this year! He decided to give specifically to help raise awareness about the need for a diverse blood supply.

Now Rico can say he has given and received blood. As a teenager, he was involved in an accident that left him with a severe cut to his arm. Blood transfusions during surgery helped save his arm.

 

When Rico came in to give, he had no idea we were in the middle of the current severe blood shortage. “I didn’t realize the great need for blood right now, and I want to help save lives,” he said.
