How One Octapharma Plasma Donor Hosted an Unforgettable Family Reunion

“Not only does donating plasma help me make my family’s life better, I know my donation is helping someone, somewhere, somehow. Just start donating, and you’ll see what I mean.”
– Maurice, loyal Octapharma Plasma donor

Diversity across our donor family is what makes Octapharma Plasma unique. Not only do our donors represent a multitude of backgrounds, ages, and occupations, but each of them also possesses a unique reason for spending time at Octapharma Plasma and giving back to the thousands of patients in need.

Maurice is a dedicated family-man.

As a proud father and grandfather, nothing is more important to him than making memories with his loved ones. In fact, Maurice paid for his family reunion using solely his Octapharma Plasma compensation.

For more than a decade, Maurice has been donating plasma at Octapharma twice per week and has cultivated lasting friendships with staff, like Sonny, who he has proudly watched grow from an entry-level employee to a center director over the years. Despite having thousands of dollars saved in his account, Maurice is committed to saving his earnings for only the most special occasions in life, like celebrating family.

Maurice’s reunion brought dozens of family members together to enjoy good food, dance, and share stories of what makes their family special. “It was a day I will always remember, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Octapharma Plasma. My family will always have this memory to hold on to, and to me, that’s priceless,” Maurice shared.

The compensation Octapharma Plasma provides its donors for their time has the distinct ability to power invaluable memories and experiences, enhancing the life of all donors and saving the lives of patients in need. Speaking on the duality of plasma donation, Maurice reflected, “Not only does donating plasma help me make my family’s life better, I know my donation is helping someone, somewhere, somehow. Just start donating, and you’ll see what I mean.”

Donating to save up for life’s precious family moments, while giving patients the opportunity to experience their own, that’s Plasmagic.
