You can also find 8 to 10 of your closest friends in the area and see if they'll get tested to find out if they are a match for you. If they are, then you can use them as your source. It takes a bit of coordination....I think they need to donate two days before you'll need platelets. You then can set up a schedule for ongoing donations.
