Your support for the Red Cross doesn't only matter when there's a major disaster. It matters every 9 minutes of every single day as we respond to emergencies big or small, at home and around the world.
The stories that are shared by families and individuals who have been affected by an emergency - whether coping after a house fire, in need of lifesaving blood, or requiring critical first aid - are stories of hope.
In the days to come we look forward to sharing more heartwarming stories with you.
Thank you so much for being there for the people who need it most - with people like you to count on, I know we'll be there every day for those in need.
Sincerely,
Gail McGovern
President and CEO, American Red Cross
