Get the latest news and information from the Kalani Blood Drive to help you make your decision about donating blood. It's normal to feel nervous, but the reward of helping others is far greater than the risk, and the initial injection is often less painful than expected. Your donation is vital, especially with a big blood shortage nationwide and on the island, helping people with trauma, blood disorders, or certain cancers. If you're 16 or over and meet the minimum 110 lbs weight requirement for those 18+, you may be eligible to save a life. If you missed the drive on Nov. 24, contact the Blood Bank of Hawaii for more information.

About the Contributor

Isabella George, Senior Editor
Hiii, my name is Isabella George, and I am currently a senior at Kalani High School. When I started newswriting, I was only a little sophomore. Time truly flies but I’ve had some really great experiences with this class. It allowed me to grow as a student, improve my writing and grammar skills, and go out of my comfort zone when I had to write stories. My interests include many art-related things like painting, crafts, photography, music, ceramics, and film, too. I play soccer and have been playing nearly my whole life. I was born and raised in Texas, had some time in Florida,  and eventually moved to Hawaii. I intend to return to Texas for college and begin my journey to become an orthodontist or pediatric dentist.
