People may not know what to do when a disaster strikes, but they do know who to call. No matter how big or small the disaster, the American Red Cross shows up when needed.
Each year, the Dallas Area Chapter responds to more than 600 disasters across 12 North Texas counties. Our ability to respond is due in no small part to the role of our dedicated volunteers who are there to help others around the clock. Our volunteers respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, seldom with little thanks and definitely no pay.
Tuesday night, we took time from the busy holiday fire season to say thank you to our Disaster Action Teams (DATs). These volunteers are on call and ready to respond to local disasters by providing immediate relief and support to individuals and families in their time of need. You can find them lending a hand whether it is 2 p.m. on a hot summer day or 2 a.m. in the middle of winter. DATs are there. They are the heart and soul of the American Red Cross and make a difference in our community on a daily basis.
This short video produced by Anita Foster, chief communications officer for the Dallas Area Chapter, highlights the Disaster Action Teams in action.

TRUSTED LENDER (LEXIELOANCOMPANY@YAHOO.COM)
ReplyDeleteMy name is Michael Lee a citizen of Illinois, USA. i have been scammed by 7 different Internet international lender, they all promise to give me a loan after making me pay several fees which yield nothing and amounted to no positive result. i lost my hard earn money and it was a total of 23930USD. One day as i was browsing through the internet with tears on my eye i came across a testimony of man who was also scammed and eventually got linked to a legit loan company called MARTINEZ LEXIE LOAN COMPANY where he finally got his loan, so i decided to contact the same loan company and then told them my story on how i have been scammed by 7 different lenders who did nothing but to course me more pain. I explain to the company by mail and all they told me was to cry no more because i will get my loan in their company and also i have made the right choice of contacting them. I filled the loan application form and proceeded with all that was requested of me and to my greatest suprise my loan was granted to me without further delay and here i am today happy because Martinez Lexie Loan Company HAS GIVEN ME A REASON TO LIVE, so i made a vow to my self that i will keep testifying on the internet on how i got my loan.
