Urgent: Families nationwide are counting on your support

As disasters impact places like Texas and Georgia this week, we need your help to be there. [American Red Cross]( [Red Cross volunteers respond to Mississippi tornadoes, 2023]( {NAME}, Just over the last week, the American Red Cross has been responding to disasters all across the country. Currently, there are 30 open shelters working to help families in their most difficult moments. [Please, will you rush a donation to help us provide urgent disaster relief like food, blankets and shelter?]( - When tornadoes tore across Nebraska and Iowa in the last week, destroying hundreds of homes and causing widespread power outages, the Red Cross rushed to provide warm meals, shelter and compassionate understanding. - When a massive home fire in Georgia upended the lives of over 70 people, Red Crossers were there to provide essential support services. - And when further severe weather devastated families in Texas and Arkansas, we were there, too, ready to help families reclaim their homes and their lives. Every day, we respond to 175 disasters across the country — each leaving its own trail of devastation and lives forever changed. As disasters continue to impact communities across the country, we’re counting on your support to provide them with lifesaving supplies and comfort.
