    In July of 2008，the Canadian Blood Services launched a new website called http：//www．thankyourdonor.ca as a way for blood recipients（接受方）to express their thanks to donors through stories，photos，and videos．

    The goal of the website is to show people how their blood donation can truly make a difference in somebody’s life．Many people were coming into blood clinics after receiving a blood donation to say thank you．The Canadian Blood Services wanted to turn that special moment into something greater by giving recipients a place to tell their stories．Whether it’s a cancer patient or a car accident victim the touching and inspiring stories on the website show how you simple donation of blood can be a matter of life or death for someone else．

    One story from Angela in Ottawa，Canada reads：

    “…My prayer of thanks to the donors turned into a mind-blowing epiphany（頓悟）of how truly interconnected we really are on earth as members of the human race and living beings．Your blood and platelets（血小板）are，in part，why I am here today．I sincerely thank all those who take time to donate．Your gift means so much．”
