One of the volunteers, Aqzar Raheel told KNO, “we have seen too many patients in the hospital, and they needed blood. That was the day we started our volunteer group with the mission of saving lives across the valley. Today, we stand proud, knowing both we and our donors have made a difference. Since 2021, we've collectively donated nearly 25,000 pints of blood across Kashmir, and our commitment to saving lives continues to grow stronger every day.”
Sajid Aziz said, “We are saving countless lives—accident victims, pregnant women, cancer patients, and many others in urgent need of blood. Last year, I personally traveled to Chandigarh to donate blood to an Anemia patient. We urge everyone who is willing to donate to contact us and help us save every patient in need of blood.”—(KNO)
