Without the American Red Cross, and relief would be seriously lacking. Donors should ignore the noise from journalists, keep faith in the charity's good work. Thank you to all the staff & volunteer heroes!

Our take on the media criticism:

Journalists have been overly critical of the Red Cross as they respond to Hurricane Harvey and Irma. Donors should keep their faith in the charity's good work.
