During the winter half of the town lost power. People ere cold and could not cook because of having no electricity. The Red Cross came and set up cots and had warm food at the fire station so people could eat, sleep, and be warm. In another instance, my son lost a large amount of blood during a routine procedure that should have turned out perfectly normal. After spending three days in the hospital, my five week old son had to have a blood transfusion in order to keep his organs and body working properly. There was an American Red Cross blood bank right there in the hospital. They ordered the blood and within one hour, the blood was delivered. The moral of this story I, I am extremely thankful for Clara Barton and her willingness to start the American Red Cross. Without their services, I would not have my beautiful son
