They say joy shared is joy doubled.
This is because happiness spreads not just within us,
but to others as well.
Blood donation is much the same.
A single donation can save up to three lives.

One Donation

Moved by the campaign’s purpose, representatives of local governments,
blood centers, and public and private institutions expressed gratitude
to Honorary Chairwoman Zahng Gil-jah and WeLoveU,
presenting them with letters of appreciation, plaques, and commendations.

César Vásquez Sánchez, Peru’s Minister of Health, issued a public resolution
recognizing WeLoveU’s twenty years of blood drives in Peru,
through which over 7,500 donors contributed.

Leaders from countries including South Korea, Argentina, Kenya, and others
conveyed messages of encouragement and praise.

“Blood donation is essential for saving lives in emergencies. This campaign is vital for regional blood supply and we hope it inspires more people to donate.”

Marta Saavedra, Regional Minister of Health, Arica and Parinacota, Chile

“Not just today, but through many events, I’ve witnessed WeLoveU’s dedication. You’ve become a beacon of hope in Budhanilkantha. Thank you for organizing such flawless events and promoting the noble act of blood donation.”

Mitharam Adhikari, Mayor of Budhanilkantha, Nepal

“The Red Cross began on battlefields by helping the wounded without discrimination. It is for the purpose of protecting human life and thereby promoting peace. Blood donations in winter, when supply is low, are several times more valuable. We’ll ensure the blood is delivered to those in need.”

Jaeseung Lee, Director, Seoul Southern Blood Center, Korean Red Cross

“Finding new donors is always challenging, and many are afraid of donating. But with a good breakfast and water, you’ll be fine. The brief sting of the needle is nothing compared with saving a life.”

“We were running low on blood, and WeLoveU’s large-scale campaign came just in time. Many still don’t understand the importance of donating blood. I hope these efforts continue.”

“It’s hard to find blood donation partners, since there’s no way to repay such a gift. Thank you for partnering with the Philippine Red Cross Caloocan chapter.”

Maria Lourdes Resurrection, Medical Officer of the Red Cross Caloocan chapter

“I hope our society grows more beautiful and healthy through this cycle of love. Thank you.”

Jaebeom Park, Former Mayor of Nam-gu, Busan, Korea

Blood donation brings joy and happiness to both yourself and your neighbors.
We hope the blood drive will expand to more countries and regions,
so that a beautiful culture of sharing life can take root all around the world.
