This is being posted on behalf of the family.

Thank you so much for responding so quickly! My name is Jennifer Williams and my phone in the US is (708) 574-5954. I have Viber and Facebook if it's easier to communicate that way.

My cousin and my brother's girlfriend are there at the hospital with him right now. If you are in the Philippines it may be easier to communicate directly with them. So here are all the details:

Dad's name: John A. Cordray
Blood Type: A negative
Location: Gonzalez Maranan Hospital, Digos City
His phone: +639309806709 (my brother's girlfriend, Riza, will answer)
Rizalyn: +639073757521
My email address: jenniferwilliams.cft[at]gmail.com

We are in need of 3 units of blood, either A negative or O negative. Thank you so much for your help.

Jennifer

On the Subject of Donating Blood, as long as you have been a regular Blood donor in your own country and have been in the Philippines for at least one year in the Philippines you can donate blood in a local Red Cross blood bank but if your over 60 and have not been a regular blood donor before coming in the Philippines the Red Cross will not let you donate at least this is the rule in Davao, in an emergency situation that maybe a different situation

Standupguy,

All I know at this time is that he was in the ICU. I just tried to call his daughter in the U.S. with my magic jack and it went to voice mail.

I am near Tagaytay and I message his daughter in the states with your response.

I will keep trying to get through.

Jim - Same here, I just get voicemail for Jennifer. Too many Jennifer Williams on Facebook to know which one is her. The cell # 9073757521 doesn't answer. The email is typed wrong. I am here at 082 285-1884 land line, Toril, Davao City. I want to know the urgency, etc. Would I need to overnight. I got kids here, and I am building a new house, workers need pay tomorrow.

sernai - Oh! I am 72 and last time I donated blood was back in the 70"s. I haven't been here a year yet, just back and forth to Canada. May not be a good idea unless the urgency is great. Got a fed medical problems myself.

seernai - I may strike out since I am 72 and haven't given blood since the 70's. I 'm building a new house here and the workers need their pay tomorrow. I also got kids, but the neighbors can help out with that. You sound qualified though. I would have to overnight if the hospital agreed that I could be a donor. Difficult situation, but not impossible.

Hi yes I donated 51 times in the uk and once here I had to wait a year but apparently after you have been checked out here you can donate every 3 months but I donate every 4 months so I'm due to go in soon for my next donation
