Blood Donation

The other day, the Japanese Red Cross Blood Center sent me a postcard to request for blood donation. The blood in stock seems not enough. I checked online where and when blood donations were held. I found that it was held in front of the nearest station today, so I went there to donate blood.


先日、赤十字血液センターから献血の依頼のはがきが来ました。血液が不足しているようです。献血がいつどこで行われるのか、ネットで確認しました。今日、最寄りの駅前で献血が行われるようだったので、献血に行きました。

Corrections

Blood Donation

The other day, the Japanese Red Cross Blood Center sent me a postcard to request foring blood donations.

Usually the verb 'request' is followed by a noun, there is no need for a preposition (example: I requested an apple). If you say 'make a request', then there will be a preposition (example: I will make a request to hotel management; you should make a request for a work bonus).

The blood in stock seems not enoughIt seems there is not enough blood in stock.

I think the only grammatical mistake in the original sentence is 'seems not enough' — usually another verb and/or preposition is needed after it 'seems' (example: seems to not be enough; seems like there isn't enough). The suggested correction is how an English speaker would convey this information (using 'it' as a reference to the situation).

Nicely done! Even without corrections the translation is entirely comprehensible :)
