A practical, step-by-step walkthrough of how to post a blood request on Lifia — and what happens after you do.

If this is a medical emergency, contact your hospital, a blood bank, or emergency services first. Lifia helps you find and connect with nearby potential donors — it does not provide blood directly, and it cannot guarantee that a donor will be available or how quickly a connection will happen.

With that said, here's exactly how the process works if you need blood in Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Derabassi, or Kharar.

Step 1: Create an Account

Sign up with your basic details and verify your email with a one-time code. There's no separate "seeker" or "donor" account type to choose — a single Lifia account can post requests and register as a donor, so you're never locked into one role.

Step 2: Post a Blood Request

You'll provide the key details a potential donor and hospital would need:

The blood group required
The hospital where the blood is needed
Your general location
The date by which blood is needed

Not sure how blood group compatibility works, or which blood group might be relevant? See Understanding Blood Group Compatibility.

Step 3: Your Request Is Reviewed

Before it becomes visible to any donor, your request is reviewed. This exists specifically to keep the platform reliable — it filters out incomplete, duplicate, or clearly invalid requests, rather than broadcasting everything instantly and unfiltered the way an open social media post would.

This review step does add a short delay compared to posting directly to a public group — that's a deliberate tradeoff for a more controlled, trustworthy process, not an oversight.

Step 4: Visible to Matching Nearby Donors

Once approved, your request becomes visible to registered donors nearby whose blood group matches what you need. You won't see who these donors are yet, and they won't see your contact details either — visibility at this stage is about discovery, not contact.

Step 5: A Donor Shows Interest

When a nearby donor sees your request and is willing to help, they express interest through the app. You'll be notified — but contact details still aren't shared automatically at this point.

Step 6: The Match Is Reviewed

Just like your original request, this specific match goes through a review step before any contact information is exchanged. This is the second half of Lifia's two-sided review process — see How Lifia Is Making Blood Connections More Private in Tricity for why this matters.

Step 7: Contact Details Are Shared

Once the match is approved, contact details are shared between you and the donor. From this point on, coordinating the actual donation — timing, hospital logistics, and any hospital-side screening — happens directly between you, the donor, and the hospital's own blood bank.

Managing Your Requests

You can have up to 3 active requests at a time. If your need is resolved another way, you can mark the request as fulfilled or cancel it — this frees up a slot and keeps the platform accurate for other donors browsing nearby requests.

Don't Rely on Just One Channel

Because Lifia can't guarantee donor availability or response speed, it's worth treating it as one tool among several — alongside contacting your hospital's blood bank directly, reaching out to family and friends, and checking any organized donation drives you're aware of. See Blood Donation in Chandigarh, Mohali & Panchkula: A Local Guide for the broader local picture.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will my request be reviewed?

Review times can vary. Lifia doesn't guarantee a specific turnaround, which is part of why it shouldn't be your only channel for an urgent need.

Will my phone number be shown publicly?

No. Contact details are only shared with a specific donor after their match with your request has been individually reviewed and approved.

How many active requests can I have at once?

Up to 3 at a time. Mark a request fulfilled or cancel it to free up a slot.

What if I find blood another way while waiting?

Mark your request as fulfilled from your request list — this closes it out and keeps the platform accurate for donors browsing nearby needs.

Can I post a request for someone else, like a family member?

Yes — you can post a request on behalf of a patient; just make sure the hospital and blood group details are accurate.

Does Lifia guarantee a donor will respond?

No. Lifia helps connect you with nearby registered donors, but it can't guarantee availability or response time.

Service Scope Disclaimer

Lifia is a technology platform that facilitates connections between people who need blood and nearby registered donors. It is not a blood bank, hospital, or emergency medical service, and it does not guarantee that blood will be available, that a donor will respond, or how quickly a connection will happen. For urgent or emergency blood needs, contact your hospital or a licensed blood bank directly.
