How many times have you heard one of your friends complain about not having enough

money?

Donating plasma is a way to make extra cash on the side while helping a good cause.

What is Plasma?

“Plasma is the liquid portion of your blood that can be easily replaced by the

body. It is made up of water and proteins, which help your body control bleeding

and infection.”

spending three hours a week while getting paid for your time.
