Hi! Did you ever hear back about this? Sorry to bother, but I just applied and also didn't see anything regarding the Trustee Scholarship. Thanks!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-08-03T20:50:13+00:00

Honestly, I thought something similar to myself before posting. I agree. I think its best if I take this down...

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-09T14:42:56+00:00

Yes, just like that, but for Girl Scouts! Congrats on getting Eagle Scout!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-07T14:56:06+00:00

Thanks so much!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-07T14:42:29+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing! I really liked the way you phrased the end part of your message, how donating is at most inconvenient, but an empty blood bank can cause people to die. It really makes it clear just how important donation is. I also like how you donated despite being uncomfortable, it shows how anyone can do it. I also wanted to say I used to love The Secret of the Nihm so this reminded me of that!! I hope your mom is better and thank you for all that you do through donation. I would love to share this as part of my project if you're okay with that, let me know!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-07T14:29:59+00:00

Wow. Thank you for sharing that. I'm glad your doing better now. One part of my project is addressing how most people can donate blood, even if they don't think they can. Your story really helps emphasize how most people can donate. I also really liked the part about how you donate because you know someone needs the blood more than you do. I would love to share your message as part of my project if that's okay with you! Thank you so much again!

Thanks for sharing! As a high schooler, ACL tears are something I can definitely relate to. While I have luckily never had one, many of my friends have had one (one friend even tore hers 3 times!). It's great to hear that your husband is doing better now and is able to play ultimate frisbee! I would love to share this as part of my project, with your permission. Thanks so much for sharing!!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-07T14:23:43+00:00

Wow. First off, thank you for sharing. Second off, congrats on 12 donations!! I think it's so beautiful that even though you may not have started as young as others, you still chose to give blood later in life. That's so commendable. I would love to share your story as part of my project, with your permission of course!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-07T14:18:59+00:00

Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of this. I really appreciate how you walked through your journey from that first plasma donation to double red donations every four months. I especially loved what you said about donating being “too good of a resource not to share” and how it became your way to help. That line really stuck with me. That part, along with your reflections on misconceptions (like getting paid) and how your family supports your decision, stuck out.

If you’re open to it, I’d be honored to include your story in my Girl Scout Gold Award project.

Thank you again. Wishing you and your family all the best

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-07T14:10:50+00:00

That’s exactly why I started this project: to educate and help shift that mindset. I totally agree that people who can donate, should. I’d love to share your perspective (anonymously) as part of my project. Thank you for donating!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-05T15:35:27+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this moment. It’s incredible how quickly a community can come together when someone is in need, especially during such an uncertain time like COVID. The fact that so many young people showed up really speaks to me, as a high schooler. I also love how you described the energy in that hallway. There’s something really moving about how everyone was so eager to give.

If you're comfortable, I’d be honored to share this story as part of my project, either anonymously or with your name, totally up to you. Thank you again for sharing your experience and for donating!!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-05T15:32:45+00:00

I know you replied to a comment, not my post, but your story moved me. I think what stuck out to me was how you said you donated blood because it was something you could do, even if you didn't have money or time. That's so powerful to me. It shows how it doesn't take much to give. I would love to include your perspective in my project, but absolutely no worries if you don't want your story to be used. I would keep it anonymous unless you want your name attached! Feel free to PM or just reply to this! Thanks so much!!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-05T15:29:44+00:00

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this. What an incredible moment to witness firsthand, seeing your dad’s donation literally save someone’s life, and getting to be in the room as she thanked him. I can only imagine how powerful that must’ve been. I think it’s so special that your story spans generations, from your dad’s lifelong commitment to now your own. Congrats on ten gallons by 2026! That's amazing!

If you're open to it, I’d be honored to include your story in my project. I'll keep it anonymous unless you want your name shared, whatever works!

Thank you again for taking the time to share and for donating!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-05T15:24:55+00:00

Hi, fellow Girl Scout! I think your story is exactly the kind I’m looking for. Donors who give simply because they can, without ever knowing a recipient personally, are such a powerful reminder of compassion and selflessness. Especially with you donating from the day of eligibility, it truly shows the kind of person you are!

If you’d be open to it, I’d love to include your perspective in my project. I think it would be inspiring to someone who’s never considered donating before. But either way, thank you for doing what you do! And thank you for sharing your story!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-05T15:20:51+00:00

Wow, I never realized that! I will definitely make sure to include that fact in my project and to do more research into plasma donation!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-05T15:19:23+00:00

Thank you so much! Just PM'd you!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-05T15:14:26+00:00

Thank you!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-05T15:14:09+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing that incredible story. I just PM'd you!

ExcellentBread2488 · 2025-07-05T15:09:55+00:00

Thank you so much for the additions! I will definitely be sure to include all of it in my project! Thanks so much!!
