At just six months old, Tristan received a stem cell transplant from donated cord blood that saved his life. Financial donations helped establish Canada’s public cord blood bank that changed Tristan’s family forever — and they can still help today.
“It says a lot that people were willing to invest in something so new at the time that impacted us so deeply.” — Manny, Tristan’s mom.
It’s for patients like Tristan that we need 450 new donors every day to keep Canada’s Lifeline strong this winter. When you donate financially, you fuel recruitment activities that help us get closer to the 450 new donors we need daily to make more lifesaving connections possible.
Donate each month or make a one-time gift to celebrate a special occasion or honour a loved one. No matter how you choose to give, every dollar will make a difference in our efforts to improve outcomes for patients who depend on us.
Financial gifts support our work in five key areas
Blood
Your gift will help educate and recruit the next generation of donors, helping us to meet the ever-increasing demand. You’ll also help to modernize our collection centres, making the donation process go as smoothly as possible and keeping donors coming back to help even more patients.
Plasma
Your financial gifts will help us to recruit more volunteer plasma donors thereby increasing plasma collection nationally and helping patients in need of life-saving therapies.
Stem Cells
Financial gifts help make more transplant matches, faster, by supporting the recruitment of new volunteer donors from diverse backgrounds to Canadian Blood Services Stem Cell Registry and Cord Blood Bank.
Organs and Tissues
When you donate financially, you will help us lead collaborative work aimed at strengthening the organ and tissue donation and transplantation system in Canada.
Research and Innovation
Your support will help us meet the needs of tomorrow by helping our team of researchers and partners engage in innovative research that will have an impact for generations to come.
