This is great and I love seeing this but the blood supply, is dangerously low everywhere in the US. The red cross estimates they have a 3 day supply for most blood types. And less for type O.

Dont wait for something terrible like this to happen go out and give it's a simple way to make meaningful change.

Edit: Dang thanks for the platinum and silver just wanted people to go donate

Hey I was there! Stood in the 100 degree sun for 2 hours. There were angels that came by an just handed out food, water, hats and umbrellas. No one was organized. Just random people that picked up some stuff to come hand it out to those waiting.

Edit: While I appreciate the silver, consider giving to the el Paso victims relief fund instead of reddit awards. https://pdnfoundation.org/give-to-a-fund/health-leadership-fund?BBFund=24&BBHideOtherFunds=1
