“It’s one of the best things that you could do to help someone;” Kamloops blood recipient encourages people to donate
KAMLOOPS — Canadian Blood Services is expecting a high demand for the year of 2024 and donations are needed more than ever. Lizzie Harbaruk, a 15-year-old Kamloops resident, is one of the many Canadians who had their lives saved by blood donations.
“I got diagnosed when I was about two years old with a disease. I had to get many blood transfusions and getting all those transfusions just really helped me get better and build up that immune system. Obviously I’m here today because of that,” she said.
Lizzie’s experience has encouraged her parents to become regular blood donors.
