Please read if you have signed up or are planning to sign up to give blood or platelets.
From the Sloan Blood Bank:
EZRA FINEMAN Needs Blood
3 year old Ezra is currently a patient at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. His treatment will require regular blood and platelet transfusions. Ezra's blood type is currently O+ (it will change to his donor's blood type later on). For platelets, you can be any blood type. Family Members: for complicated medical reasons, you can NOT donate if you are a blood relation on either side.
Ezra and his family would deeply appreciate your donation of blood and/or platelets and requests you ask others you know to donate. Donations not used by Ezra will be released for use by other patients many of whom are children.
To benefit Ezra all designated donations must be made in the Blood Donor Room of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Please visit www.mskcc.org/blooddonations for complete information about donor eligibility and the donation process for blood or platelets.
