What Most People Don't Know About Red Cross

I have been at Red Cross for about 7 months now and I was amazed when I first started at how many services Red Cross provides. They help out in so many unique ways that many people don't even know about. Red Cross gives out so much money to help families that have just been through a disaster, but they also offer rental assistance to many of those same families. A lot of the families we help do not have insurance and have to start from stratch with a new apartment and pay all new deposits. That can really add up when you also have to replace all of your belongings. Red Cross really tries to do all that they can to help families get back on their feet after a disaster. They also offer mental health counseling to help people get through the emotional aspect of a disaster. I think it's great that Red Cross offers so many services, but I think it's sad that very few people know about them. I think more people would donate money if they knew about the efforts that Red Cross makes to help so many local communities.
