SAN DIEGO — News 8's Kyle Kraska donated blood on Tuesday, something he enjoys doing. He knows that every drop can make a difference.

Almost five years ago, Kyle was shot outside of his Scripps Ranch home. He survived thanks to medical staff and people who decided to take the time to donate blood.
