ORIGINAL STORY:
After a large number of inquiries into how to donate blood for two child victims of an ATV accident in Rankin County, Mississippi Blood Services sent texts today to help people do just that.
Lou Dittus and Keigon Norwood were injured in a four-wheeler accident over the weekend. Both were taken from the scene to Children’s of Mississippi in Jackson.
Keigon needs A+ blood donations to stabilize his blood pressure, officials said.
Norwood’s family told WJTV that anyone with A+ blood can donate at Lowe’s in Greenville, Mississippi, from 12-4 p.m. today.
Meanwhile, according to MBS, anyone not local to Greenville can donate at any MBS Center or Blood Drive using codes Keigan: EJ35 & Myleigh: EJ34. Use this link to find a location near you.
