American Red Cross

The Red Cross is offering aid, comfort, and support in Oklahoma today. It’s what they do. The media has given and will continue to give everyone an extensive view of the devastation there. If you are interested in performing random acts of kindness like I am, today would be a good day to text a donation. Making a small donation might not seem like much and certainly won’t do anything to negate the destructive force of nature but, for me, it is something I can do at a time when events like these traumatize our collective humanity. Offering prayer and for the nonreligious, positive intention, is already underway as evidenced on social media even as the tornado was touching the lives of so many. I am keeping the people that are suffering so many losses in my thoughts and prayers too. I copied the following from the Red Cross’ website and plan to do my small part in the relief effort in Oklahoma by supporting their mission and you can too.   

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. For more information, please visit redcross.org.
