Yvonne Goodman supports the Red Cross

This organization is always the first to respond whenever there is a major disaster and provides relief around the world. Their assistance after the major earthquake in Haiti was inspiring.

I am personally moved by the ongoing blood drives that the Red Cross holds. Due to a medical complication, I almost lost my life recently and was saved by four units of blood. I now know that every time one person donates blood it saves three lives and every two seconds someone in American needs blood. That person could be you or a family member.

I have a new appreciation for the work that the Red Cross does.

Please join me by donating to this life-saving organization, or another charity of your choice, through Upstate's Community Giving Campaign.
