You never think it will happen to you...

When Rebecca was eight months pregnant, a fire broke out in her apartment. She and her husband lost everything—furniture, clothes, and the supplies they’d purchased for their new baby.

Rebecca’s local Red Cross chapter was there to help the couple pick up the pieces in time for their baby’s arrival—but only because supporters like you pitched in to make it possible.

“Red Cross was a tremendous help when we had only the clothes on our backs,” Rebecca says.“They were able to help us get clothes, toiletries, and even offered to help find us a place to stay while we got back on our feet.”

The need for funds is constant. Can you donate now, to keep your community safe and prepared and give help and hope to families like Rebecca’s when they’ve got nowhere else to turn?

Sadly, Rebecca’s story is not uncommon. In fact, every eight minutes, a local Red Cross like ours responds to a house fire somewhere in the United States. And these fires are always devastating. But you can help a neighbor in need, like Rebecca, the next time disaster strikes, by making a donation to the American Red Cross of Upstate South Carolina.


Thank you so much for your help. By getting involved and supporting our work today, you can change a life, starting with your own.
