TESTIMONIALS
It’s a two-way street. What it does is help individuals. Therefore, you are helping society, you are helping people in great need, and you are financially helping yourself. I have opted to save my donation money that I’m using towards legal expenses.

Donating plasma is well needed for me and those who need it to survive. It’s benefited me the days on the days I’m not scheduled to work to help make ends meet. The donation compensation helps me support my kids and buy miscellaneous supplies for the house.

7 months ago, I started looking into donating plasma after a family friend of my mother needed medicine for treatment while they were in the hospital. The medicine was plasma-based. I discovered that I could donate my plasma to help others in need. Besides the money helping me support my three girls, knowing that I positively impact people’s lives keeps me coming back.
