Day 143: the Red Cross

Hi again,
This post is for yesterday because I was sick. So I wondered what I could be thankful for when I felt miserable and I came up with being thankful for the Red Cross. While I haven't needed help from them personally, I see the wonderful work that they do around the world and the people they help. They are an amazing organization. The reason I thought of this was because of the earth quake in Japan and they were ready so quickly to accept donations to help the victims in Japan. The Red Cross helps in so many situations, not just natural disasters. I don't want to give any inaccurate information about them so the best thing for me to do to share the good they do is to direct you to their website. :) It is http://www.redcross.ca/ . I believe people can even donate money through their website as well. When the disaster struck in Haiti and I wanted to donate something, I looked into several organizations and how much actually went to help people in Haiti and I found from my searching that Red Cross took less money for admin costs and what not than other organizations out there. That is a very good thing! Red Cross really does make a difference in the lives of others. Anyways if you would like to see more of what they do, please visit their site. :) This is why I am thankful for Red Cross!
