Perth: From a nursing student from India seeking greater opportunities, now a nursing professional, City Councillor and a successful entrepreneur. Jiby Joy is now running for the Oakford electorate in next year's state election. Grateful for the warm welcome and opportunities he received from the Australian community, Jiby aims to give back in a meaningful way.

As part of his unique election campaign, Jiby is organising a major blood donation drive, led by the "Jiby Joy 4 Oakford Campaign Team". The event, taking place at the Cannington Red Cross Centre on October 19, will address the ongoing blood shortages by encouraging donations and providing vital support to those in need. By focusing on this crucial issue, Jiby’s campaign highlights his dedication to improving healthcare and fostering a stronger, healthier community.

With his nursing background, Jiby is well aware of the critical need for blood donations. Known for his actions rather than just words, he has taken the initiative to organize this blood drive, inspiring many others to contribute and support individuals in urgent need of life-saving blood. This event, coinciding with Jiby’s birthday, is an opportunity for the community to come together for a good cause.

The Importance of Blood Donation
A single blood donation can save up to three lives, playing a crucial role in emergencies, surgeries, and treatments for conditions like cancer or anaemia. Regular donations are vital for patients undergoing chemotherapy or recovering from major surgeries.
