I have noticed too that everyone, everywhere is promoting donations to The American Red Cross Sept. 11 Fund. It has gotten to the point, where, numerous United Way officials were pleading to the media for coverage during their recent annual fundraising campaign, because everyone was donating to the Red Cross and not having any money left to give to United Way. Since then, the United Way has joined forces with the Red Cross.
Not to be spiteful at all, but I am frankly wondering what that 1 billion is being used for? Just a bit confused about where the money is going. Many people are willing to throw money at a good cause, but who knows where the funds go? One of our local radio stations has collected over $700,000 for the Red Cross, but they never say what exactly that money will go towards.
