Meet
Someone
Else
Yes, that’s his name. He represents the thousands of
people who—like you—take on the responsibility of
supplying blood to the state of Rhode Island. And he
needs help from all the people who aren’t donating
yet. So invite a friend to donate blood, and keep
helping us help Someone Else.
Pure joy on the faces of Jude Amoako, 21, a URI student from Cranston, RI, mom Felicity and sister Janelle as they meet some of the
actual people who donated the blood Jude needed to save his life (more about Jude inside).
Blood Sisters
Barbara Morse Silva of NBC 10 hugs Joni. Inspired
by doing a news story about Joni’s need for weekly
platelet transfusions, Barbara gave her first apheresis
platelet donation last year. Days after, Joni received
Barbara’s platelets at Hasbro Children’s Hospital. Now
Barbara donates platelets every three weeks on her
day off! Little Rhody may be a small state, but it has a
big heart! Learn about platelets at ribc.org/platelets.
