Farah Jones was featured on our newscast on Wednesday asking for a donation of blood. The 29 year old mother of four and a former City Council employee suffers from renal failure.
A good number of people have called our office offering to help - and one Belizean American in the US navy even offered 25 us to anyone who would donate a pint of blood.
But today she is still desperately in need of 4 more pints of blood - in order to receive her next dialysis treatment on Monday. Monica Bodden found out more:..

"I went to try and get dialysis done yesterday but it was impossible because my blood was at 4.3 and I was not breathing properly my body was too tired and I had to get admitted here at the Karl Heusner in order for me to get emergency blood which I got yesterday. I still need 4 more pints in order for me to continue with the dialysis and then I need to try and stabilize my limit of blood, right now my blood is about 7 it went from 4.3 to 7 so I have to say thanks to the public for the help thanks to everyone for the prayers the calls the text messages, all the inspirational messages that I have received I want to thank everybody first of all and then I want to thank God for still having me here. I will continue to fight because I want to be there for my kids."
