Tuesday evening, January 12
Tonight, a disaster struck the capital of Haiti and surrounding areas where 2 million people live. We’ve been in touch with Red Cross staff on the ground, who report collapsing buildings and aftershocks that have forced terrified people into the streets. The people of Haiti need our help.
We’ve immediately pledged an initial $200,000 from our International Response Fund to provide food, water and other relief to people impacted by this earthquake, knowing the first 48 hours are absolutely critical to save lives.
Your gift will provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.
We must be prepared to take further action as local responders assess the situation. Red Cross volunteers will work throughout the night to reach survivors trapped in their homes. And based on the needs they find, the American Red Cross will provide additional support, including relief supplies from our global warehouses.
Your donation of any size could help save the day by providing food, water, temporary shelter, medical services and emotional support to someone in need.
Help provide hope amidst destruction and give the gift that saves the day:
