Did you know the plasma you received during treatment may have come from a Townsville donor? You could have passed them on the street and wouldn’t even know it!
At Townsville Donor Centre, we know our donors are incredible people. They choose to give a part of themselves to help others without the need for reward or recognition. We want to show them how much their gift really means to the people who receive it, but we can’t do it without you.
Share your story. Save lives.
Share your story as a message
Your story will be sent as a post-donation thank you message, encouraging them to keep up the good work and ensuring recipients like you receive the care they need.
Share your story in a video
Recording a video is a great way to show your appreciation and gives donors a chance to see the people they’re helping. Don’t worry if you’re not an expert when it comes to operating a camera, if you’ve got a smartphone, you’re all set!
Tips on sharing your story
- Let them know you’re a local like them!
- Tell them why you needed plasma.
- Explain how it’s changed your life.
- Show you appreciation with a big thank you!
Filming tips
- Length: try and keep your video short, up to 30 seconds is a good guide.
- Background: don’t blur the background, find a clean space like a bookcase to record in front of.
- Sound: make sure you’re in a nice quiet space so we can hear you clearly.
- Light: face towards a light, like a window or lamp to avoid shadows on your face.
