I get calls from the red cross EVERY day requesting that I donate plasma.   I've been ignoring these calls for over a year because the last time i donated blood I fainted and felt like I had very little energy for the next few days, but apparently I'm type AB- which the caller told me is .05% of all blood types and its plasma is in urgent demand.   

I'm torn because on the one hand the caller made it sound like people die because first respondents don't have enough of this plasma but on the other hand I'm working part time while attending school full time.  I'm not particularly healthy to begin with, (benzo addiction but that's a whole different story) and I'm afraid If I donate again I'll have another bad reaction which could seriously mess up my work and education.  

I just accidentally answered a call from them and after learning how in demand my plasma is, agreed they could call me back later today to see if I could arrange a ride to one of their facilities.  I also don't currently own a car so I would need to find a ride there and back.  Currently I'm thinking of explaining I can't get a ride and go on to ignoring their calls but the thought that I could literally save a life is haunting me AITA?
