Unique Edwards, a 32-year-old Milwaukee woman, came down with Covid-19 in June and ended up being hospitalized after developing serious symptoms. In the hospital she was treated with convalescent plasma therapy, a treatment that uses the antibodies of someone who has had the infection and developed an immune response.

Edwards, a mother of three, said, "Donation will definitely be in that process of bringing up my children and reminding them what it did for me and what it could do for someone else.
