Money is useful but there are other necessary supplies that can’t be bought. A news release from BioBridge Global said blood supplies in South Texas hospitals are being strained by a surge of patients. The release states that the type O negative blood supply is at “critically low levels” and all blood types are encouraged to donate. Fort Worth has several blood donation centers located on the map below.
