USuku lweHlabathi lokuNikela ngeGazi
Ndikhumbula okokuqala ndandizama ukunikela ngegazi. Ndandikwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo, yaye baye bafumana igazi kwindawo yokuzivocavoca. Ndandicinga ukuba iya kuba yindlela elula yokupha. Bamele ukuba bazamile ukusebenzisa ingalo yam yasekhohlo kuba ndiye ndafunda ukuba ndiphumelela kuphela ukusebenzisa ingalo yam yasekunene. Bazama kwaye bazama, kodwa ayizange isebenze. Ndadana kakhulu.
Yahamba iminyaka yaye ngoku ndandingumama wamakhwenkwe amabini. Emva kokuba ndibe namava okutsalwa kwegazi izihlandlo ezininzi ngexesha lokukhulelwa kwam, ndacinga ukuba mhlawumbi ukunikela ngegazi kwakulula kunokuba ndandicinga, ngoko kutheni ungaphinde uzame kwakhona. Ukongezelela, kwakusandul’ ukwenzeka intlekele yaseColumbine, yaye ndeva ukuba kukho imfuneko yasekuhlaleni yokunikela ngegazi. Ndandinexhala ndicinga ukuba kuza kuba buhlungu, kodwa ndenza idinga. Yabona, yayiliqhekeza lesonka. Ngalo lonke ixesha umsebenzi wam wawusindleka i-blood drive, ndandibhalisa. Amaxesha ambalwa, i-CEO yeColorado Access ngelo xesha, uDon, kwaye ndiza kukhuphisana ukuze ndibone ukuba ngubani onokunikela ngokukhawuleza. Bendiphumelela kakhulu ngalo lonke ixesha. Ukusela amanzi amaninzi kwangaphambili kuncede kule mpumelelo.
Ukutyhubela iminyaka ndiye ndanikela ngeelitha ezilithoba zegazi, yaye oko kunomvuzo ngalo lonke ixesha. Ndavuya xa ndandiqala ukufumana isaziso sokuba igazi lam liyasetyenziswa. Bayiphucule inkqubo, ngokukuvumela ukuba uphendule yonke imibuzo kwi-intanethi kwangaphambili, ukwenza inkqubo yomnikelo ihambe ngokukhawuleza. Unganikela rhoqo ngeentsuku ezingama-56. Iingenelo? Ufumana i-swag epholileyo, iziphungo kunye namashwamshwam, kwaye yindlela elungileyo yokugcina uxinzelelo lwegazi lakho. Kodwa eyona nzuzo inkulu kuzo zonke, kukuba unceda ukusindisa ubomi. Zonke iindidi zegazi ziyafuneka, kodwa unokuba nodidi lwegazi olunqabileyo, olunokuba luncedo olukhulu ngakumbi. Umntu othile e-US udinga igazi rhoqo kwimizuzwana emibini. Yiyo loo nto kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba unikezelo luzaliswa ngokuqhubekayo. Ukuba awuzange uzame ukunikela ngegazi, nceda uzame. Lixabiso elincinane ukuhlawula ukunceda abanye abasweleyo. Ukunikela ngegazi kube kanye kunokusindisa kwaye kuncede ubomi babantu ukuya kuthi ga kwabathathu.
Inkoliso yabemi baseUnited States ikufanelekele ukutofela igazi, kodwa bamalunga nesi-3 ekhulwini kuphela abakwenzayo oko. Kubalulekile inamaziko amaninzi eminikelo kunye namathuba okuqhuba igazi. Inkqubo yokunikela ithatha ngaphantsi kweyure ukusuka ekuqaleni ukuya ekupheleni, kwaye umnikelo ngokwawo uthatha malunga nemizuzu eyi-10 kuphela. Ukuba awukwazi okanye awuzukunikela ngegazi, zininzi iindlela onokuwuxhasa ngazo lo msebenzi usindisa ubomi. Ungabamba i-blood drive, ukhuthaze isidingo sokunikela ngegazi (njengam), wenze umnikelo, ubhalisele ukuba ngumnikeli womongo, kunye nokunye. Ukuba awuqinisekanga ngendawo omawuye kuyo okanye uqale njani, nceda uqhagamshelane ne-Vitalant (eyayisakuba yi-Bonfils) apho unokufumana lula ulwazi olongezelelweyo okanye ubhalisele uncedo lwakho.
