"The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support
to victims of disasters; supplies nearly half of the nation's blood;
teaches lifesaving skills; provides international humanitarian aid; and
supports military members and their families.
The Red Cross is a charitable organization - not a government agency -
and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to
perform its mission."

The Leon Law Firm
www.theleonlawfirm.com suggests and requests that you donate to the American Red Cross to help
the hundreds of misplaced, injured and homeless citizens of Joplin, Missouri.
With the record number of tornadoes this year and the high populated areas
they have hit, the red cross is stretched thin and needs our support.
