Dear Oroomers,
I have been in this situation for over a month where my dad needed O+ plaquette every second day. I never knew what plaquette is and never knew how hard it is to find someone fit to donate, I always ignored such appeals as i thought there are plenty of donors out there and the blood banks must have enough blood stock .
The plaquette (platelets) cannot be stored so you wont find in the blood bank. the patient needing it is usually in a critical condition
I thank God for all the friends i and my family have. as thanks to them we have managed to get 17 fit donors during that month (without mentioning the dozens who volunteered but were not fit)
Please if you think you are fit to donate plaquette do not hesitate when you hear about someone urgently needing it and your donation will make a huge difference
Good luck @
