Meet Amber   Amber is alive today because someone donated blood. That selfless act changed the course of her life, and the DeFuniak Springs mother is making the most of her second chance.

Previously terrified of needles, Amber is now a dedicated blood donor herself. She and her whole family donate together whenever they are eligible, and they hope you will too.

Complications after an emergency C-section left Amber with dangerously low blood levels. Doctors at Baptist Hospital Pensacola rushed to stabilize her.

Tips for a successful donation:

• Drink 16 oz before donating.
• Eat a meal 2 hours before your donation.
• Include red meat in your diet (2-3 meals two weeks prior)
• Enjoy your Green vegetables, such as broccoli, green beans, and cabbage, and leafy greens like spinach, kale, and cauliflower leaves, which are rich sources of iron.
• Be sure to drink water regularly.
• REMEMBER: After donation: no heavy lifting or vigorous exercise the rest of the day; grab a healthy snack and drink plenty of water.

You can still help even if you can't donate; share this message with friends and family.
