Aww, glad you like it. You can use it or lose it - either way, it’s my pleasure to throw out ideas. It’s so nice to have this group to bounce ideas off of and share.
Ghosties, I wanted to clarify this post. I meant that you were welcome to use it or not use it as you wish. My witty little rhyme “use it or lose it” wasn’t at all what I meant - and sounded snarky when I re-read it. Sorry about that!

Haha! Don't be, it wasn't snarky at all... heck, if you hadn't said use it, we would've stolen it.
Our log line is better overall and more effective for your and the others' contributions.
The last one you had was fine IMO so this is just nit-picky noodling around.
Not sure you need the tragic accident.
You could pop it a bit with a ticking clock
Alternate suggestion (but like I said - the last one is fine)
With just one week till Christmas, a desperate mother finds herself in a race against time to wrangle a donation from the only person with the rare blood type needed to save her daughter's life - the reclusive town Scrooge.

The operative word there is 'could' but I wouldn't hold your breath, Dave. Andrea's throwing those kisses around like there's no tomorrow.

I know Dave's is a lock, but I just love writing loglines.
With Christmas looming, a desperate mother attempts to melt the frozen heart of the town Scrooge, whose veins are the sole carrier of the rare blood type that would save her daughter.

Ahoy, Steven8,
Hey, it's always enjoyable to read other variations of it. Truth be told, I always thought our original log was a mouthful, and yours is definitely short and sweet.
We appreciate the feedback and input. Thank ya kindly. -A

Sincere thanks for your input, ladies and gentlemen. We really can't thank you enough for all the astute feedback you've given us. I always find the writing of the logline to be the most torturous part of the process, and you'll have made it a smidge easier.
