American Red Cross Charity

The American Red Cross organizations main focus is recruiting blood donors and volunteers; this is very clear from the first click on their website-a pop up window asking for the reader’s zip code in order to find a donation site near them. The tabs up at the top labeled with large print are inferred to be their most valued ideas. Below each of those tabs is a list of resources related to those individual tabs that help better define their purpose. The American Red Cross website uses the all three of the main types of rhetoric-pathos, ethos, and logos-in a way that benefits their organization and successfully grasps their audience.

Whether it is a local flood or a national disaster, there is always one organization there to help, the American Red Cross. Each year the organization turns down no one in need, benefits 70,000 people in disaster relief, along with saving three lives every time a person donates blood. The American Red Cross has evolved through the years and is still known as one of the most important nonprofit organizations in the world.

I chose to do my I-search paper on Ronald McDonald House Charities because I have a personal interest in this charity. My interest comes from the birth of my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law learned that their child would be born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. The doctor’s explained that one in twenty-seven hundred babies are born with this. CDH is where there is a hole in the diaphragm and as the baby develops its organs, such as stomach spleen, intestines, and liver move up into the chest cavity putting pressure on the lungs. This causes the lungs to be under developed. They were told that the baby would be hospitalized for about three months. They were told to contact the Ronald

The American Red Cross is a program that helps people worldwide. The American Red Cross has helped people from all over the country. The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. The American Red Cross was founded by Henry Dunant, who was a Swiss Business man who helped soldiers on both sides of a battlefield after the Battle of Solfino. The American Red Cross was founded by Clara Barton in the aftermath of the American Civil War. Both Founders didn’t know that the founding of the American Red Cross would become big as it is today.

The goal of the Red cross is to help people in need whether it is providing shelter, food or clothing. All these things do make a difference.

The American Red Cross is a major relief organization in the U.S. It is a non-profit humanitarian organization run mainly by volunteers in the community ready to jump at the opportunity to provide assistance for those in need. The Red Cross organization was founded in 1881 by a woman named Clara Burton. It was first put into action after the Civil War when aid was needed for the war injured individuals. It is an independent, worldwide organization that provides people with the knowledge they need in order to be prepared for any and all types of emergencies as well as how to prevent them from happening in the first place. (source1) The following information will be covered about the American Red Cross: Who founded it and when, and the basic

The American Red Cross is a non-profit organization that provides shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their

The American Red Cross can no longer make the same mistakes over and over again like they have been in the past. They can no longer keep paying truck drivers as well as paying for gas to have American Red Cross relief trucks driving around cities after natural disasters just to look good. Those type of things might make you look good but then when the public finds out, which they will

With that said, the American Red Cross responded to 70,000 disasters in 2013 (“Last Year’s Disasters: The American Red Cross Response”). While not being a very big number, it still shows that the Red Cross uses its donation money to support victims. On that very subject, to further support Superstorm Sandy victims, the American Red Cross gave back some of that money, and by some, they mean 74 million dollars according to the “Last Year’s Disasters: The American Red Cross Response” YouTube video. Which is more than giving back, it is simply a part of their appeal to those in need. In an interview with John Bavendam, a victim of a tree falling on his house, he said in reply to the query of “Based on the American Red Cross providing medical aid, shelter, and food, would they have been able to help you?” He replied with “Yes they would have provided ‘better’ shelter than a run-down home especially when it feels like you’re dying.” This provides an idea as to what the Red Cross would be able to do for this young man. In 2013, the American Red Cross provided over 24,000 overnight stays, and even more so in 2015 with over 34,000 overnight stays according to statistics from 2015. Furthermore the American Red Cross helped over 19,000 households recover from natural disasters. Which would have been helpful for John, given this question and answer: “What disaster occurred in your life that the Red Cross would have responded to?” “During a windstorm, a tree fell on my home, collapsing the roof and causing insulation to flood into my room.” The American Red Cross is all about making sure people recover, as stated on their own website, they claim that they aspire to turn compassion into strength and with that strength they can help people recover from natural disasters across the United States, so that they can receive care, shelter, and

What is the American Red Cross? "The American Red Cross exists to provide compassionate care to those in need," states their website. They perform this undertaking through five chief service areas: disaster relief, support of America 's military families, plasma donation, health and safety services, and international services. Through disaster relief, the Red Cross responds to disasters between home fires to hurricanes. They provide food, shelter, health and mental health services to those afflicted. The Red Cross assists “military members, veterans, and their families prepare for, cope with, and respond to the challenges of military service,” helping an average of 150,000 per year. The Red Cross is the largest supplier of blood,

Based on my interpretation of the article, it appears that the leadership within areas of the Red Cross is trying to guilt the leadership

The American Red Cross is an organization that has been helping people for many many years. They take donations and put that money toward helping people in times of need. This organization provides our nation and surrounding communities with a sense of relief when it comes to hard times, making it a very valued and honorable institution throughout the world.

I served at berney elementary at fresno as a teacher's aid. As a teacher's aid I was given the chance to helped  and interact with the students. At  Catholic Charities, I was shadowing the staff  plus also aiding in the process. During the process of learning how to do an Input, I was able to aid and somehow interact with the clients. I was also able to give an opportunity to explore and develop new skill during the process.

As discussed in my first essay, the virtue of hope is “crucial for attaining any other virtue” as well as “the inseparable part of human nature.” However, sometimes a burden of harsh and unpredictable circumstances causes the unfortunate to doubt hope. In that case, according to Mary Wollstonecraft, others should disregard their “ignorance and mistaken self-interest” to help the unfortunate regain the essential virtue of hope (Wollstonecraft, 211). Furthermore, as Niccolo Machiavelli emphasizes, when disregarding their self-interest, the ones helping should not only appear to be hopeful, but also demonstrate hope in their actions (Machiavelli, 203). But how is the virtue of hope demonstrated to others? By looking at the work of Mary Wollstonecraft

(Our History, 2014) Although it was founded in 1881 the United States ratified the Geneva Convention in 1882. Barton became the first President of Red Cross, they established their first local chapter in Dansville, NY and after that day they had their first disaster relief in Michigan by a major forest fire. (Rosenberg, 2014) As the years pass by American Red Cross begins to grow more, and more when it comes to helping victims during a disaster. They even started helping victims when it came to sheltering them because their homes were damaged by hurricanes, floods or man-made disasters. Later on in the 1900 they were giving a congressional charter that mandated the organization by translation or communicating between family’s members and members of the Military or people affected by a disaster.( Rosenberg, 2014) They played a big part in World War II, which lead to the blood collection service in 1948 and CPR classes for the
