How many of you are familiar with the American Red Cross and all of the fabulous work that they do? Have you or anyone that you know ever received assistance from them? Do you volunteer and/or support the American Red Cross?

Over the past 10 years, we have received assistance from the American Red Cross and we are very grateful to them for helping us out in our time of need.

The most recent two experiences both involved getting slammed with hurricanes here on the east coast. First…hurricane Irene slammed into us with a fury and then a year later the highly publicized hurricane Sandy roared in here with a vengeance. While we were more fortunate than those who live in New Jersey and New York, Pennsylvania took a big hit too!

The American Red Cross helped us and many families living in our area. We were without electrical power for well over a week. We had no way to cook or to stay warm in our own homes. They opened up several shelters here in our area where we could go in and get hot showers, hot meals and just sit down & rest after a hard day of cleaning up. Everyone there was so warm, friendly and very helpful with our needs.

There are many things that I learned throughout that experience and I am very appreciative of the things we have in life and those who we choose to surround ourselves with.

What I learned back then is that we need to protect ourselves and our property. I know when people get desperate, they do desperate things. We got looted and lost some of our most prized possessions, things that I will never get replaced. While we thought we were secure, we really weren’t and our family learned a very valuable lesson.

    I didn’t have an experience with the Red Cross , but there were others in my neighborhood who did require its help. I believe that it is a marvelous organization. I am glad that Master Lock is making donations to the Red Cross. We have made donations to the Red Cross in the past.

  2. I have AB neg blood. I donate whenever I can with American Red Cross.
