Chrissy Teigen is "overwhelmed" after her friends donated blood in honour of her son Jack.

The Sports Illustrated model devastatingly suffered a miscarriage last month and now her best friends have honoured Jack's memory by donating seven lots of blood, the same amount Chrissy used in her blood transfusions during her pregnancy.
She wrote on Instagram: "Ok, I tried writing this 4 times but the tears were too much. Here we go again, with my heart full of warmth and happiness. My friend @kimmiekyees sent me this with the caption 'Me and 6 of my friends donated blood to replace the 7 pints you were given in the hospital, in honor of baby Jack. I love you friend'. Phewwwww the tears. I’m overwhelmed by our circle of friends. The love I feel for each and every person in our circle actually makes me ache. @kimmiekyees, I’ve known you for so many years now. You know every story, you hear every life gripe, you’re amazing at what you do but the way you treat my kids and family is cherished always. To do something like this for baby jack is just ... I dunno. Beautiful (sic)"
And the 34-year-old model also revealed blood donations were down.
In the lengthy post, she added: "@kimmiekyees was told by the volunteers that donations were severely down because high schoolers are responsible for so much of the blood donated. Usually they’d get a coupon for an ice cream cone or a movie ticket, but without school in session, donations are down. I have a lot of friends who normally would donate from a special day at work, but alas, no work. Kimmie, I love you. I love this. I am so proud of the people I surround myself and my family with.
