Employees in Lafayette and Baton Rouge participated in blood drives last month to benefit BU Finance Manager Windy B’’s grandson Wyatt. The blood drives were open to the public as well as employees.
“In 2024, Wyatt was diagnosed with Acute B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia at 6 years old. Within days of the leukemia diagnoses it was discovered that he also has a gene mutation that causes the cancer to be aggressive. Now in the maintenance phase, young Wyatt receives weekly chemo for the next two years. Donating blood through LifeShare with his donor ID (23211909) impacts him and his family by helping cover costs associated with his treatment. And just maybe one of our donations might go to him when he receives one of the many blood transfusions he needs weekly,” Windy said.
