We don’t get paid for it in Australia but it’ll go to helping someone who needs it.

      I agree with that for the plasma but the whole blood donation goes to the hospitals. The organization I donated for is a local non-profit that supplies the hospitals in my area!

        Oh yeah, I donate whole blood too. There are legit places that are collecting blood in order to save lives.

        But the plasma places are basically milking people to make cosmetics.
