The hunting accident happened near Vicksburg on December 28. Family members said he is in critical but stable condition. They added he lost a lot of blood, but was saved by donations.
Vitalant is located at the old United Blood Center building at 8234 Calais Avenue in Baton Rouge.
Every donation sends a financial credit to the Mississippi hospital where Branch is recovering. Those donations will help his family pay for the medical bills.
A GoFundMe has also been set up to help the Branch family.
