The American Red Cross

I don't imagine that there is any group or organization in this world that is perfect, either in its mission or in how it carries out its mission.

However, over the years as we've seen various disasters in this world -- including the ones that have happened in the US (many previous natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, extreme weather) -- it seems to me that the International Red Cross (International Committee of the Red Cross/ICRC) and the American Red Cross are both heroic and absolutely crucial in times of great need.

If not "perfect" in mission and actions, it seems to come darn close.

At times like these, I cannot think of another organization that needs our financial support more than the Red Cross.
