Firefighter Brad Buken in need of help!

[ChrisWCFD]

I'm just throwing this out there in case anyone is willing to donate blood for our brother in need from West Chester Fire Dept. He was in a vehicle accident this week with his son and is in cridical condition. He had to be given 122 units of blood so far all together and for ever unit we are able to give, it will help by coming of his blood bill. All that you need to do to help is to go to a "Hoxworth Blood Center" location and tell them that you want it charged to "Brad Buken" who is at University Hospital.
Hoxworth Blood Center's web site is below and has a "locate center" section to find the closest center to you.

Sometimes people just don't realize how much they can help. The more people we can get, the better off. If it's possible ask a friend to go with you and help together. If you can help and are willing please do. I would like to get your name as well so please email it to me if you don't mind.

Again, thanks so much for your prayers and help.

I just found this post and I was wondering how is he doing and does he still need blood?

i just want to say thanks to all of you that was able to donate blood for Brad's blood drive. It was a great turnout and everyone donated enough to cover Brad's blood cost along with more for the supply. It's just great to see how everyone came together to help. Due to the family's request and the department's wishes ... I am unable to give any details on Brad's condition only to say that he is still in SICU and our prayers are with him.
Thanks again,

Chris
