"We were sitting in the truck watching the house burn. It was really nice in those few days when we didn’t know what was happening, or what would happen, that we were able to at least not worry about food and shelter and our baby having diapers."
On a quiet Boxing Day, Carmen had to flee her burning home with her husband, one-year old son and the family cat. That’s when Red Cross volunteers showed up. And it’s when precious donations like yours turned into food, shelter and diapers for Carmen's baby.
