Red Cross Relief


Red Cross Banner

It’s a good feeling to know I was part of the cause. In more ways then one. Funny when you get mad that you don’t have any room left on your credit card to buy a $1,200 toy, but when all the red cross needs is $5 to give someone a blanket, the world seems to make just a little more sense.

Dear Jim,

One year ago we watched Katrina’s deadly swirl in the Gulf, and its pounding landfall that erased entire coastlines and devastated millions of lives.

You watched this humanitarian crisis unfold, and what did you do?  You acted. You donated…and your gift helped us mobilize caring people to deliver crucial Red Cross relief to millions of people suffering throughout the Gulf region—vital support like hot meals, safe shelter, blankets, a shoulder to cry on…Thank you again for your act of kindness.

Right now we’re preparing for flooding and power outages from Ernesto’s landfall. But at the same time we’re on other disaster scenes, and providing countless critical services locally, nationally and globally.

We need your help to ensure that we have the resources, talent and ability to respond to disasters, and continue to help Americans prevent, prepare for and respond to life’s other emergencies.

…

Without the support of friends and neighbors like you, the Red Cross wouldn’t be able to respond to disaster and provide other lifesaving services like health and safety training and emergency communications between military members and their families. This past year alone, we trained 11 million people in CPR, first aid and other lifesaving skills, and provided nearly half of the nation’s blood supply.

…

Sincerely,

Kathleen E. Loehr
Senior Vice President, Development
