An urgent appeal for blood donations has been issued on behalf of Gavin Gardener of Newfield, who is currently in critical condition at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre (SLBMC), according to Antigua News Room.
Family members and supporters say Gardener requires immediate blood transfusions. All blood types are being accepted, and donors are urged to visit SLBMC as soon as possible, indicating upon arrival that their donation is intended for Gardener.
Medical staff continue efforts to stabilize his condition, and those behind the appeal stress that every donation could prove life-saving.
Prospective donors are reminded to bring valid identification when visiting the hospital.
Organizers are also calling on members of the public to share the appeal widely in order to maximize donor turnout and give Gardener the best possible chance of recovery.
