Hope for Accreta Foundation and ICAN of Northern Virginia will co-host a community blood drive in partnership with Inova Blood Donor Services on Saturday, April 2 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The drive will be held at River Farm, the headquarters of the American Horticultural Society, in Alexandria, Virginia 22308. This event is for the 3rd Annual Hope for Accreta Foundation global blood drive and awareness event. April is Accreta and Cesarean Awareness Month and blood drives will be set up across the globe as a way to give back and to help save the lives of mothers. Each location will be attended by a local face of placenta accreta, a serious pregnancy complication that can cause catastrophic hemorrhaging. Blood transfusions are sometimes necessary to save the life of the mother after giving birth. Local survivors and blood recipients will be in attendance to share their personal stories of why blood donations are so important and to thank those who give the gift of life.
We are looking for a volunteer to take photos or video at the blood drive and create a montage like the one in this link, created last year at a similar event: https://flipagram.com/f/fRSnmB0z3K. Hope for Accreta would like the ability to share the final product via social media soon after the event.
When inquiring, please share information about your interests, studies, experience, and examples of your work, if any. Thanks!

Mission Statement
Hope for Accreta Foundation is a non-profit organization that helps to raise support and awareness for all that have been affected by Placenta Accreta, Increta or Percreta.
Description
The Hope for Accreta Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides education, fundamental support and medical needs funding for families and who have been diagnosed with Placenta Accreta, Increta or Percreta. Accreta is a condition which affects 1 in 333 pregnancies and occurs when the placenta invades the uterine wall during pregnancy. There are three stages to this life threatening condition. Each stage of Accreta decreases the possibilities of the mother’s survival rate. There is a high probability that blood transfusions are necessary during delivery to save the life of the mother and child. Many times, the family concerns can stem from the lack of knowledge and/or ability of the local hospitals and doctors who are providing care for them. The Hope for Accreta Foundation supports doctors through research, assisting with upgraded infusion technology, and providing the necessary tools during and after the surgery.
