Annie's Story
Annie Trombly
Born Prematurely

Blood donors helped little Annie Trombly, born prematurely

Little Annie Trombly was born the day after Thanksgiving 2006 - 3 1/2 months early.

At one pound, 13 ounces, Annie needed blood products right away. With frequent blood tests and her tiny size, Annie received regular transfusions, many from the same volunteer donor.

A special blood drive was held in Annie's honor on January 11, 2007 at the Manchester, New Hampshire Red Cross Donor Center, sponosred by Sprctrum Monthly & Printing.

Red Cross blood donors help patients just like Annie in cities and towns throughout New England and across the United States. Please….give blood.
