Blood Donation requirements in Mexico are different than in the United States and Canada. Click HERE to learn more.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Larry Cobb, an U.S. Air Force Veteran who lives in Guayabitos, needs your help! Larry is sitting in the hospital in Guadalajara waiting for an open heart surgery procedure and the hospital does not have sufficient O Negative Blood for the operation.

The hospital will not operate on him without a sufficient supply. O negative is bit more rare than other blood types and harder to find in quantity. We desperately need all donors with type O negative blood to help a fellow Guayabitos resident who is waiting for surgery.

The hospital requires donors to be over 18 and under 50 years of age. No drugs in the system, no alcohol in your system 72 hours prior to donating, no tattoos, they typically won't accept donations from persons who have tattoos.
Click HERE for more donor requirement guidelines.

You do not have to go to Guadalajara to donate. You may donate blood at your local IMSS hospital either in La Peņita or Puerto Vallarta under the name of Lawrence Michael Cobb who is at the Centro Medico Occidente Guadalajara.

It is very important that if you are donating for a specific person to be sure and give the blood bank or hospital that person's name.

Patient Name: Laurence Michael Cobb
IMSS Number: 5509470021
