Laura Trivett excitedly anticipates her first blood donation experience. Overcoming her initial belief that she couldn’t donate due to a past breast cancer diagnosis, she discovered her eligibility after six cancer-free years. Inspired by the presence of a new Canadian Blood Services centre at her workplace plaza, Trivett was thrilled to join her colleagues as a donor.
As the inaugural permanent donation location in South Surrey, the centre offers a convenient and accessible option for locals. With eight beds available for whole blood and plasma donations, the facility aims to provide crucial support for various medical conditions. Canadian Blood Services’ Craig Nielsen emphasizes the importance of community involvement in the donation process.
Trivett, the proud owner of Kitchen Therapy, emphasizes the significance of giving back to the community through blood donation. With the centre set to open its doors on August 4, Trivett encourages others to prioritize their health and consider becoming donors.
