    Thanks for the challenge. I just texted 90999 and it was quick and easy. I had never done anything like this before via text messages. To be honest, I was a bit leery of it until I investigated further into how this worked at the American Red Cross website. If it weren’t for the Red Cross name, I would not have donated via text because I just don’t trust most organizations.
    Donating to help the earthquake disaster relief this manner is an amazingly easy and quick way to send help to those in need via a trusted source.
    Please consider helping those who are less fortunate and in need.
