When you give blood, have you ever thought, where does my blood go? I am here to answer that question for you. First, I will tell you the basics. The pint of blood that you give could save three peoples' lives. It can be sent far away or it can be given away at the local hospital. Your blood could even be given to people you know. Often, they are brought to places where disaster has occurred. Like recently the American Red Cross has helped the victims of hurricane Matthew and hurricane Nicole. 
I have known a lot of people who have needed blood transfusions. My best friend actually needed fifteen blood transfusions all within a couple months because she had something wrong with her stomach. They are very common but they do save lives in a relatively easy way. You can help people all over the country and even the world if you donate blood. Here are a few stories that show what your donated blood can do.
