A community-driven emergency blood donation matching engine and medical resource tracker for Kenya. Built with Laravel, Inertia.js, and React to replace chaotic social media appeals with instant, localized SMS alerts for verified patient needs. # 🩸 DamuLink > **Connecting blood donors, hospitals, and patients in real time to save lives across Kenya.** --- ## 💡 Mission & Sustainability This is a **100% non-profit, zero-ad social enterprise platform**. The core service is completely free for families in crisis.

Beyond blood donation, DamuLink also provides visibility into ICU bed availability, helping improve access to emergency healthcare resources across Kenya. --- ## 🎯 Vision To become Kenya's most trusted real-time emergency healthcare response platform, making life-saving blood donations and critical healthcare information accessible to everyone. --- ## 🚀 Core Features ### 🩸 Blood Appeals - Create verified emergency blood requests - Hospital verification workflow - Blood group matching - Live donation progress tracking - Appeal expiration management - Fraud prevention through document verification ### ❤️ Donor Registry - Volunteer donor registration - County and sub-county matching - Blood group categorization - Active/inactive donor management - Local emergency donor network ### 🚑 Donation Claims - Reserve donation intent - Two-hour donation reservation window - Donation completion workflow - Automatic appeal progress updates - Duplicate reservation prevention ### 🏥 Hospital Directory - Registered healthcare facil …
