My hospital suggested I wait a day or two, as I have a fairly uncommon type, and the supply of new blood has glutted the testing capacity. Of course, I live in Texas, so mine would have to travel a pretty fair distance to be of help, yet. The immediate blood need will be massive, but I am sure you know burn victims needs tremendous amounts of blood to survive later.

But don't stop trying to help yet!They need Money for so many uses
