The world is mourning the loss of all the victims that died in Sunday’s worst mass shooting in the history of the United States.
In response to Sunday’s mass shooting in Orlando, the Red Cross issued a statement asking any eligible individuals who want to help donate blood to make an appointment in the coming weeks and months.
