As a volunteer with the Capital Area Chapter of the American Red Cross, I can earnestly say that the comment made about how the funds are allocated is false. The building was funded from a $25 million grant by the people of Kuwait, through the Kuwait Red Crescent Society and was not taken from any money donated by the public. They respond to local, national and international disasters everyday and yes the American Red Cross get the job done.

Besides, the money for the building was donated by the Kuwait Red Crescent society for the purpose of building new chapter buildings in the Gulf Coast area.
