Haiti Needs Help

Dear Medina County Residents,

I am sure you have heard of the tragedy that took place in Haiti on Tuesday, January 12.  A series of earthquakes have left Haiti in ruins and with a devastating death count. 

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies have released $1 million to be used for immediate response needs and are deploying teams to provide humanitarian assistance and search and rescue services.  The Red Cross also provided blankets, kitchen sets and water containers  to help up to 5,000 families.  Unfortunately, there are many more survivors that need our help in this time of dire need.

You can help the victims of the Haiti crisis by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross International Response Fund.  Your gift will provide not only immediate, but long-term relief through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

Please mail your gift to the American Red Cross of Medina County at 704 N. Court St., Medina, OH 44256.  Donations to the International Response Fund can be made by phone at 1-800-REDCROSS or online at www.redcross.org.  

Sincerely,
Michael E. Kovack
Medina County Auditor
