Thanks to your legacy, you help people in need
If you are considering including a charity like the Red Cross in your will, we are extremely grateful. By doing so, you help people in need, because every day people unexpectedly find themselves in a dire situation. Near or far. Your legacy ensures that Red Cross volunteers can provide professional help when needed. That's why a donation through a legacy is the gift of a lifetime. And that's a wonderful gesture.
