There are five in the family at this location. Dieula mother 45, Kenithe 26 with brain injury from earthquake, Moicelle 22, Enold 21, and Lyonel 16. They have very little food, no bed, no blankets. They are in desperate need of help. If you could help them sustain their food, they need it very much. I am trying to get Enold to America. Thank you.

I am suppose to do a small interview and put in my essay. I was wondering who decides where your donations dollars get spent? Also, your organization is a pretty big oraginzation and you have helped so many people through the years How does the organization decide the priority of who gets help first and how much help is sent? How much does it cost to keep this non profit organization going? thanks for you help and keep up the great work. Patricia Craig Gloria Huang,

The American Red Cross is deeply embedded with the global Red Cross relief effort. For international disasters, our role is primarily to work with Red Cross Movement partners to coordinate a response. For this reason, American Red Cross personnel are sent in small teams of pre-trained and pre-qualified specialists to support the affected country’s Red Cross workers. In total, more than 600 Red Cross and Red Crescent workers from 30 countries around the world are in Haiti working with more than 2,500 Haitian Red Cross volunteers in areas such as health, logistics, and relief supply distribution. The map above is meant to give a general picture of how the Red Cross Movement has been providing relief in Haiti. Additionally, we have spent $80 million in one month in order to meet immediate needs of Haitians in a fast, responsible way. The Red Cross will continue to spend the money raised as quickly as possible, with the significant focus now on emergency shelter – tents and tarps ahead of the rainy season. We will remain focused on finding communities and populations in need in Haiti, and giving them the things they can use to survive this difficult situation, until the last donated dollar is spent.

The Swedish and Norwegian Red Cross were at the hospital and running the mobile clinics. I don't think the American Red Cross should take credit for the work done by other branches - especially with regard to how it is spending the 'unprecedented' donations. Expect to see more bad press as the aid workers out the lack of action on the ground. 100 Red Cross workers on the ground? Big deal! I was with a small NGO that had that many, and nowhere near 255 million dollars in donations. I spent two weeks in Port au Prince and NEVER saw the American Red Cross.
