Haiti

Thank you to all who donated to Ted's birthday Haiti fun!

Dear Ted,

In the aftermath of the catastrophic earthquakes in Haiti, the American Red Cross stands with our Red Cross and Red Crescent partners around the globe to transform your donation into relief and recovery. Our combined efforts represent the largest single-country relief operation in Red Cross history. Thank you for being a part of this monumental response effort.

Together, we have:

  • Delivered critical relief supplies like blankets, hygiene kits, and mosquito nets to 1.3 million people
  • Provided safe, clean drinking water daily in a program that, at its peak, served 300,000 people
  • Supported an immunization and hygiene promotion campaign that will ensure the health of 250,000 children
  • Placed more than 600 Red Cross and Red Crescent relief workers on the ground in Haiti
The American Red Cross stands ready to provide further assistance and will remain in Haiti until the job is done. We are grateful to have your support that brings hope and comfort to those affected by these devastating earthquakes. As the response evolves, please visit http://www.redcross.org/haiti/ or call 1-800-797-8022 to learn more about your gift at work.
