2. For the record. The Red Cross is LYING. Services are NOT FREE.
I personally know 7 different people who turned to the Red Cross for help in the middle of various crises and every one of them eventually got a bill for services from the Red Cross. 4 paid, the other 3 sent back a letter that basically said "wtf?".

3. Yeah, I'm leery of the Red Cross ever since Katrina.
Lots of people not getting services or getting billed for them but some of leaders of the organization are making 6 figure salaries. Not cool.
