American Red Cross

September 03, 2005

American Red Cross

This week, our nation has suffered the one of the worst natural disasters ever. The events of Hurricane Katrina, and the aftermath of events in the Gulf Coast states of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana have saturated the television and radio waves all hours of the day and night. The suffering our fellow countrymen are going through is tremendous, unimaginable, and heartbreaking to watch. As a nation, we must all band together and help those who are most vulnerable and most affected. Today's Family First Site highlights an organization that for over 125 years has helped in situations like this all over the world.

This organization if the American Red Cross. Since it was formally founded by Clara Barton in 1881, it has been the cornerstone of disaster relief in our nation. Modeled after the International Red Cross, it was created to serve our nation in peace and in war, during times of disaster and national calamity. The worst disaster that is has dealt with, before Katrina, was another hurricane that struck Galveston, Texas in 1900 and killed over 6,000 people.

At this site you can make donations to help the hurricane victims, and what else you can do to relieve their suffering. You also can learn about the ongoing programs that the Red Cross sponsors, both during times of disasters, and long after the crisis is over.

This is a time for all of us to put our differences aside, and help our fellow citizens, our neighbors, and our friends. We are so blessed as a nation for what we have, and we should be thankful that we are able to share it with others.
