American Red Cross Red Cross Red Cross says they will help when you have a fire or disaster - They don't unless it gets on TV Nationwide

The American Red Cross says they will be there to help you when you need them. 

They do not unless they can get TV time or there is a large number of people like a apartment fire and then very few services are provided.

We have given to the Red Cross for years and then one day we had a house fire.

The Red Cross was nowhere to be found, no one answered the phone and no one called back. This was in a Big city so it was not some small town out of they way of their offices.

Salvation Army showed up at the fire but only offered coffee and donuts to the firefighters. They did not offer us any and did not offer any help either so I put them in the same Catagory as the Red Cross.

The fire happened in the early morning and the house was a total loss. We were outside in our robes while we watched it burn.

We had no clothes, no money, we had to borrow some clolthes and some money from neighbors so we could even have something to wear. Red Cross never contacted us even after we tried to contact them.

Do not give to them. They will not be there when you need them. They pay large salaries to the executives and keep money that people send that was meant to help in a disaster.

I just saw an ad on TV that said they would be there to help when you need it.....It is a lie.
