Today, the Blood Transfusion Station held a blood donation drive on the grounds of Mykolaiv Zoo to collect blood for Ukrainian defenders wounded in action.
Fifteen zoo employees and local residents who wished to support this noble cause took part in the initiative. A total of 29 people donated blood. In just one day, 13 liters of blood were collected, helping save the lives of many of our brave defenders!
As a special thank-you, the zoo offered all donors free admission on the day of their donation and an additional free visit on another day of their choice.
On behalf of the zoo and the Blood Transfusion Station, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who did not remain indifferent to this important cause, to everyone who shared a part of themselves to help those who courageously defend our country! Your compassion and willingness to help are an invaluable contribution to saving human lives.
During a break, the staff of the Blood Transfusion Station also received a pleasant surprise from our institution: an opportunity to meet Casandra the boa constrictor and Nyusha, our local feline resident.
We hope that initiatives like this will become a wonderful tradition and be held regularly!
Thank you to every donor! Because donated blood means a chance for life!
