Thanks to generous blood donors--and the Versiti Blood Center’s innovative research--Adelaide Yost is living a normal, healthy life. Adelaide has von Willebrand disease. At age five, she had multiple spontaneous bleeds and received blood transfusions that helped save her life. “We were fortunate blood was available to treat our daughter. Now, we can look forward to her future,” says Adelaide’s mom, Katie. To help Adelaide and others in need of life saving transfusions, consider making a blood donation at Immanuel's Quarterly Blood Drive on Sun., Oct. 20, 8-noon. Sign up for a time slot on the clipboard in the church lobby or here .
