Hello, my name is Kennedy. I was born on Jan. 24.  I have a condition called Intralobar Pulmonary Sequestration. It is an anomaly of the left lung. I have already spent three weeks in the hospital. I will be returning soon to have the abnormal portion of the left lung removed, during my last surgery I was given a blood transfusion. My daddy and mommy are thankful for the person who donated blood so that I could receive a life saving gift. They are encouraging others to donate. I have an account set up with Carter Bloodcare. My number is Spon049374.  If you can donate, take this number to your local Carter Bloodcare facility, and I will receive credit for your donation. If you would like to keep updated on my progress, please visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/kennedybell Please pray for me as I continue this journey. And pray for my three big sisters and my daddy and mommy as they care for me dearly. Thank you in advance for your blood donation.Â
Love, Â Kennedy
Love, Â Kennedy

Giving blood is an easy way to give back to the community. We frequently have blood drives that our employees attend. Brad Trietsch goes above and beyond. He recently received his Six Gallon recognition. Six gallons of blood – that’s 22.712 liters. When I think of liters, I think of a 2-liter of Diet Coke. That’s a lot of Diet Coke.
Kuddos to Brad for literally giving a piece of himself back to the community.
