Don't worry about your anemia. If you still need to donate, you could always give to a local food pantry... I think that Gabriele’s mention of donating blood will get other people thinking about it.

If I have a boyfriend at the time, I bring him along. My philosophy is that since commercial traditions of the Valentine's Day concentrate so much on different body parts (hearts and those other), why not REALLY "love thy neighbour" in body parts that they need. Whenever I tell someone about this, everyone likes the idea and decides to do it themselves (or at least they say so), so hopefully I could spread it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do it this year because of anemia, I don't yet know what to do about it... I have a Valentine’s Day tradition: I donate blood on Valentine’s Day.
