     Lori has been in the hospital since November 27, 2004 fighting
     this  disorder. She has used over 400 units of blood  products
     to  date.  On  a  daily  basis, Central Blood  Bank  needs  to
     register  725  donors  in  order to meet  the  needs  of  area

     will  help replenish the blood products that she has  used  so
