[Please: Will you rush a gift now to help us reach our $175,000 goal and continue to respond to over 175 disasters every day?]( [Five Comfort Kit Icons]( $95 Provides five comfort kits with hygiene items, blankets, meals and snacks [GIVE NOW]( [Four Cleanup Icons]( $135 Provides five families with a Red Cross disaster clean-up kit [GIVE NOW]( [One ERV Icon]( $360 Provides one emergency response vehicle deployed to reach communities impacted by disasters [GIVE NOW]( With every disaster comes one or many stories of loss, struggle and worry — like the story of Candee Olafson. When Candee fled Lahaina, Maui, as the wildfires closed in, she not only lost her home: She was separated from her beloved cat, Princess. But after a week in a shelter, American Red Cross workers finally reunited Candee and her “baby cat.” But that’s only possible when you help us to provide critical supplies like a hot meal, clean water, shelter and more. [So please, will you give before our midnight deadline to help us respond to disasters like storms, tornadoes and home fires? As disasters grow more frequent and intense, your generosity will help us be there for families, no matter what.]( [GIVE NOW]( Thank you,  — 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.
