As an ex-employee, I would like to say that the Red Cross is a business. You donate blood, they sell it for a 400$/unit profit. The reason they go to 'disasters' it to sell their product...your blood. The Red Cross also gets the benefit of having people donate MORE blood in disasters to up their profits. THEY ALSO get support from the government for going to disasters. So, they make money money money (not to mention your MONETARY donations).<BR/><BR/>It's much like Walmart. Walmart donates 1.5million. They get the tax break then, they get 'the people' to buy more products to donate. They WIN.<BR/><BR/>I'm not trying to tell you what to do in this situation, but realize, disaster means money for these "Corporations."<BR/><BR/>I think donating TIME, EFFORT, STRENGTH and EMOTIONAL SUPPORT to the affected people is a better way to go.<BR/><BR/>Peace and solidarity!<BR/><BR/>CheHammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158589483955706818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1125695318078415902005-09-02T16:08:00.000-05:002005-09-02T16:08:00.000-05:00We are fine here.

They may stay here with us as well. <BR/><BR/>At this point we don't need anything but there are so many others who do. Just knowing that you guys are working to get help to those truly in need brings tears to my eyes. <BR/><BR/>Thank you, ABB. Thank you, Brother Rob. Thanks to all of you.BarefootCajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960018125640941576noreply@blogger.com
