There are blood banks in quite a few cities in Oklahoma.  In Norman, one of them (at least it was, still should be) was on Campus Corner.  Just look them up in a phone book or Internet yellow pages.

There's information here on donating a body to the University of Kansas Medical Center.  It includes contact information.  You could contact the University and see what they have to say:\n\n http://wichita.kumc.edu/research/assets/bodyDonorInfo.pdf

To donate plasma, you must be a healthy individual at least 18 years of age or older, weigh at least 110 pounds, and pass all other required donor eligibility criteria. Following a well-balanced diet and drinking plenty of water before donating is also recommended.\n\nDonating plasma is a very safe procedure with minimal or no side effects.  On your initial visit, and annually, you will receive a physical exam and your medical history will be recorded.  These steps help ensure donating is safe for you and protect the recipient of the therapies made from your plasma.\n\nOn subsequent visits, a staff member will check your vital signs and ask some questions about your health since your last donation.  In addition, your hematocrit (the percentage of blood volume occupied by red blood cells) and plasma protein levels will be measured.\n\nThe tubing and all other collection supplies that come in contact with your blood are discarded and replaced with new, sterile materials each time a donation procedure is performed.\nThe professional medical staff is dedicated to making your visit comfortable and rewarding. You can spend the donation time relaxing, listening to music or catching up on your favorite magazine or book.\n\nThe body replaces the plasma removed during the donation process quickly; therefore, healthy individuals can donate as often as twice in a seven-day period, with at least 48 hours between donations.\n\nOn your first visit, the whole process, including a physical exam and the plasma donation, usually takes about two hours. On subsequent visits, you can anticipate spending approximately an hour and a half in the center.\n\nYou will be paid cash for your participation and your time, but remember you are not SELLING your plasma and they are not buying it.

Currently, it is not legal in this country. Plasma, yes, but whole blood, no. That is why we have so many blood banks around the country that count on their donors to keep up the supply.\n\nAnd for the benefit of hot sing, as a Mason I served for several years as a chairman of our blood bank. The ONLY income to a non-profit bank is from the sale of whole blood, serums and donations. The expenses are very high.

Oklahoma has two web sites that can be searched free of charge.\n\nThe first one is easier to use, but not all counties are included. \n\nhttp://www.ocdr.com\n\nIf the county you need is not listed you will need to go to :\n\nhttp://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/start.asp\n\nIt is a bit more difficult to navigate.

My mom works for the American Kidney Fund. \n\nhttp://www.kidneyfund.org/\n\nThey send her a list of people who have donated clothes and other personal items in the past, and all she has to do is call them and see if they will donate again. They strictly collect items not money via the telephone so people are more generous. She is paid by how many pick ups are made from her lists and it is a great cause. \n\nGood Luck =)

Try your local bar association.  They should be able to connect you with an attorney.\n\nOklahoma Bar Association Pro Bono Programs\nLegal Services of Eastern Oklahoma\n918/584-3211--Fax (918) 584-1866\nContact person: Laurie Connors, Pro Bono Director\n\nLegal Aid of Western Oklahoma \n405/521-1302--Fax (405) 557-0023\nContact person: Stan Foster, Executive Director\n\nIf you are stating that Legal Aid of Western Oklahoma won't return your calls, be patient.  Pro Bono work is difficult to coordinate and doesn't receive lots of funding for the high numbers of people requesting pro bono lawyers.  Just the process of connecting an attorney with you requires that an attorney who can handle your specific issue A) does pro bono work (not all do), B) doesn't have a person waiting for their help in front of your, C) is able to take your case (there can be conflicts of interest that prevent attorneys from taking cases), and D) has had an opportunity to review your case.  Pro bono work is a privilege, not a right.  Speed of response is a trade-off that often occurs with pro bono work.  If you want an attorney to be more responsive, hire an attorney (non-Pro Bono).

It depends on where you are at. I know someone that does it for about $45 a week around here but I have heard that in PA they pay as much as $135 per week.  Just call your local plasma center and ask them what the pay rate is. Good luck. Oh, and make sure you start really hydrating yourself the day before. And eat really healthy. It helps a lot with how you feel afterward.

You can contact your public assistance office, The good will, the salvation army, or catholic services may help. Been down the same road you are now. Good luck! Also if you call the power company, most times they will be willing to set up payment arrangements.

Red Cross will help, so will the Salvation Army.  Check with local churches, sometimes they can help too.  If there is a Senior Citizen Center close where you live, they might be able to help out.  Put jars, for people to throw change in at local businesses, that will let you leave them there.

That's a great idea to cheer someone up for the holidays. I'd love to do it personally, but unfortunately I'm time constrained and don't live near a VA hospital. Are there organizations that do this that I could donate to?

You could go to your doctor's office or local health department. They usually have these available to give away.

You can't earn money by donating blood anywhere in the US.  You can donate plasma for money, but not blood.  That's why it's called a "donation".
