Laurice Levine

Laurice was born with thalassemia intermedia. As if that wasn’t enough, at 25, Laurice was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. Because her body could not manufacture sufficient hemoglobin, her heart could not keep up the pace and she needed to start receiving blood transfusions. Twice a month, Laurice receives two pints of lifesaving blood and will continue to do so for the rest of her life.

“Prior to each transfusion, I say a prayer thanking each donor for giving me life,” said Laurice. “I also bless and wish each donor with continued life and good health.” Today, Laurice remains an active and vital person in her community.
