"Are You Still in Haiti?"


"Are you still in Haiti?"

Many of the employees and volunteers of the American Red Cross are asked this question. Today, we'll be asked more than usual.

"We are," we answer. "We probably will be there for a few years."

We sometimes forget to remind you, though, that you are still in Haiti.

If you volunteered, donated, helped raise awareness, gave blood, supported evacuees who sought refuge in Chicago Red Cross shelters... if you showed up in any way to support Red Cross efforts between January 12, 2010, and today... you are in Haiti.

Your donation is still at work and will be for years as we unravel one of the most complex relief efforts we've ever undertaken. Take a look at the difference you are making.
