Give Life!!!

Did you know that Connor relied heavily on blood products, especially in his first 6 months of life, and in his last 18 months of life? He literally could not have survived more than a few days of HLH without a considerable amount of different types of blood products. Products like fresh frozen plasma (FFP), platelets, packed red cells, IVIG, whole blood.... Without these blood products, Connor would not have lived nearly the amazing life he did. We are so thankful for the awesome donors who gave of themselves to give our son life.
Please consider giving of yourself to do this for others! There are so many children just like Connor and adults who need blood products to sustain their lives. Please see below for how you can give blood and be a hero!

Our next Connor's House Blood Drive will be held THIS COMING Sunday, June 13th from 11 am - 3 pm! We'd love to have you come join us.
