It is a dangerous misconception to believe that MBS has blood stock sitting in the bank ready for use. The reality is that there is no “bank” of blood waiting for us. MBS depends almost entirely on direct donors, people who give only when a specific patient’s name is attached to a request. With only about 3% of the population donating regularly, true volunteer donations are extremely rare.

While MBS organizes blood drives with resorts and institutions, these are limited and cannot meet daily needs. On any given day, about 18 units of blood are required, and shortages are common. For a Thalassemia Major patient like me, blood isn’t a rare emergency. It is survival, over and over again. Requiring transfusions twice a month means I need four donors every month, and arranging them is a constant struggle. Calling, chasing, worrying, and hoping someone is available and willing is exhausting and emotionally draining.

Blood isn’t optional for people like me. It is heartbreaking that we are still forced to beg for something that exists in abundance in the veins of those around us. We shouldn’t have to trade dignity and peace of mind just to stay alive.

Volunteer donors are the backbone of the system. They are the only way to make blood available consistently and lift this crushing burden from patients. It’s easy to assume someone else will step up, but when everyone thinks that way, the shelves stay empty. We cannot build a stable supply on assumptions. We build it on action.

Don’t wait for an urgent post to appear. Be the person who shows up. Be the reason a patient survives today.

🚨 Hey @MaleCitymv 🚨

Here we are again, discussing the crumbling ramp at Meeruma. While posing in front of wheelchair symbols for IDPD is nice, here's Irushad's daily reality.

Turn those photo ops into real action. Fix the ramp !!!

Photos like this aren’t viral and don’t generate more outrage because of anti-Palestinian bigotry

There can be no co-existence with this genocidal fascist state.

Zionism has to be dismantled in full. There is no middle way.

This European settler colonial project has to be brought to an end before it can do any more damage.

The 76-year nightmare must be over.

I'm tired of the world treating Palestinians like a charity case, wdym a temporary ceasefire for Ramadan? 30k+ people have been killed so far and this is all the UN does? After 6 months? No ramifications for the colonizers? No consequences for the merciless genocide? Really?
