In 2013, I was devastated by the floods. Our house was destroyed, and all of my possessions were lost.

The Red Cross came a week later, and we got exactly two things from them: a single wet wipe, and a band-aid. In total, the Red Cross contributed a band-aid and a wet wipe to our home restoration.

Compare that to the local charities and volunteers who contributed countless hours of hard work, food, and moral support, all quantitatively helping us towards getting our house water-free.

Three years later, the Red Cross still has yet to support us, aside from our care package. Canadians donated over $36 million to those affected by the floods, and we didn’t see a cent.

I’d be happy to provide a ton of support, as much as I possibly can, to all of those devastated by the fires. However, I really don’t think the Red Cross is the way to go.
