It's Time to Help
Every disaster comes
to a single horrible moment for each person that is affected.
Whether it is the devastating aftermath of a hurricane, tornado
or flood, or the loss of a home due to a house fire, the Red Cross is there to
help. Everyday right here in the Greater Chattanooga Area dedicated volunteers
are on call 24/7, 365 to help those suffering from loss. Whether it is food, shelter, clothing or the
emotional support of a hug the Red Cross is there making a difference.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! As the recent shelter operation for Hurricane Gustav evacuees here in
Chattanooga so clearly illustrated, the Red Cross is always there ready to help
those in need. Now we need your help.
Our budget has been running at a deficit due in part to a record
number of home fire clients, an expansion of our service area and cuts in
important programs previously funded by the United Way. The need is clear – your
local Red Cross Chapter is experiencing an emergency of its own.
During our 91 year legacy of caring
the Chattanooga Area Chapter has touched tens of thousands of lives. More than likely you, a family member, friend
or coworker has been touched by the Red Cross. They know what it’s like to have
a Red Cross volunteer there at 2 AM helping them with lodging, food and
clothing after being burned out of their home.
They know how comforting it is to have someone help them get a service
member home from Iraq to attend a family funeral. They know how good it feels
to have lifesaving skills like CPR –and to use it to save a life. They know how
much it means to have someone that cares.
If
you don’t help, who will be there in the middle of the night helping a family
displaced by a house fire?
If
you don’t help, who will be there to teach lifesaving skills like CPR?
If
you don’t help, who will be there to assist military families during times of
crisis?
If YOU don’t help …. who will?
