175 Stories 🕊️♥

Help us respond to over 175 disasters every day. [American Red Cross]( We respond to over 175 disasters every day [Slideshow cycling through various photographs of Red Cross volunteers helping people]( Help us bring hope to every story of disaster Goal: $175,000 Deadline: Saturday @ Midnight [GIVE HOPE]( {NAME}, Every day, the American Red Cross responds to over 175 disasters. That’s over 175 stories of loss. Of hope. Of compassion. Of overcoming the odds to find strength, rebuild and recover. Whether it’s a home fire, a tornado or a storm, the Red Cross will always be there for those affected in their hour of need. But today, disasters are growing more frequent and intense, and we’re counting on your help to continue this work. That’s why we set an ambitious goal to raise $175,000 by midnight on Saturday to help us respond to disasters big and small. [So, please: Will you give now to help us reach our goal and deliver lifesaving relief to families impacted by tornadoes, storms, home fires and more?]( [GIVE HOPE]( [Photograph of volunteer with Rosa of Atlanta, Georgia]( After a fire took her home of 20 years, Rosa felt that she had lost everything. She had no possessions, no purse and no way to buy food and no place to stay. But in her darkest moment, Red Cross workers arrived. They offered compassion, gave her vouchers for food and helped her make a plan to recover. But most importantly to Rosa, they were there for her when she needed them most. [GIVE HOPE]( [Photograph of voluntneer with Rosalba of Arcadia, Florida]( Rosalba had grown up in the same Florida home where she was raising her children. So, when Hurricane Ian left her home uninhabitable, she not only lost a safe place to sleep — she lost decades of memories from every part of her life. But the Red Cross stood by her side. They offered her two rounds of financial assistance so that she could find a suitable home for her eight-person family. When she was asked what the funds meant to her, she simply answered, “Hope.” [GIVE HOPE]( No matter the size of the disaster, the time or the place, the Red Cross will be there to bring hope to every story of loss. But that’s only possible because of compassionate people like you. [Please, give now to help us reach our $175,000 goal by midnight on Saturday and ensure that we can bring food, water, shelter and compassion to every family impacted by disasters big and small.]( [GIVE HOPE](  — Your Friends at the American Red Cross [Subscribe]( | [Contact Us]( | [Privacy Policy]( | [Unsubscribe]( | [View in Browser]( Staying in touch via the American Red Cross email list is the best way we have of keeping in regular contact with supporters like you, letting you know about how you can protect yourself and your loved ones from disasters and other emergencies, and how you can support our life-saving work.
