Best Ways You Can Help
by The American Red Cross
The American Red Cross wants to thank the thousands of people who have
contacted them to offer their help in the disaster relief efforts and to
request assistance in contacting loved ones. Below is a guide to the best ways
you can help the Red Cross in the coming days and weeks.
If you're looking for a family member affected by the attack...
In the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the priority of the
American Red Cross is providing lifesaving assistance in the form of immediate
disaster mass care and blood to victims and emergency workers in New York,
Washington, DC and Pennsylvania. All inquiries regarding family members should
be directed to your local Red Cross Chapter. You will be asked to provide
detailed information. Please be advised that the inquiry process will take some
time given the magnitude of the tragedies.
If you want to make a cash donation ...
The American Red Cross needs cash donations to secure the special resources we
need to provide immediate disaster care. You can make a donation right now
through America Online. 100% of your donation will be applied directly to these
disaster relief efforts. Thank you!
If you want to give blood...
Thanks to the time and generosity of everyone who gives blood on a regular
basis and to the thousands who have responded to our call for help in the past
24 hours, our blood supplies are in excellent condition for responding to the
immediate need. But of course we are always eager to receive new blood
donations. If you want to give blood, please contact your local Red Cross
Chapter to make an appointment.
If you want to volunteer...
The Red Cross has thousands of trained volunteers ready to respond to disasters
throughout the country. We do not send new volunteers on immediate assignment.
If you want to become trained in Red Cross Disaster Services and respond to
future disasters, please contact your local Red Cross Chapter in the next few
days to help reduce current volume, which is extremely high.
Thank you again to all those who have responded in this extraordinary time of
need.
Sincerely,
The American Red Cross

Helping Your Children Cope
with the News of
Reported Terrorist Attacks
by Laura Jana, M.D., F.A.A.P.
Our nation is reeling from the attacks on the
World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. When
horrendous events like these occur, it not only leaves each and every adult
shaken and mired in disbelief, it becomes impossible to shelter our children
from the reality of what is happening. While we struggle to comprehend these
awful events, it is important that we take into account our children's
perspective and help them cope as well. No matter how upset we are by the grim
reality that our country is not as safe as we would like it to be, we have to
offer our children some semblance of security in their world.
Steps
parents can take:
There are several steps parents can take to comfort their children and help
them make some sense of the tragedy:
Personal safety and the safety of the people you love. Offer immediate
reassurance in any way possible to make sure that your child knows that those
people closest to him are OK. First, even though it may seem obvious, spell out
to your child that the members of his immediate family--Mom, Dad, brothers and
sisters--are all safe. This is essential even if you live nowhere near the site
of one of the attacks. Next, reassure your child about other relatives--Grandma
and Granddad, for example. Repeating the list of dear ones who are all right
will be comforting for you and your children. If possible, you may want to let
your children talk to them on the phone or via email.
Structure. Try to maintain the daily schedule as best as you can. If you
normally go to the park or drop your child off at preschool, do those things. A
regular routine gives children a sense of structure and security.
Details and distance. Although you may feel a need to keep the
television on to catch each unfolding event, for the sake of your young children,
it's best to turn it off while they're in the room (or you might consider
listening to the radio using earphones). Children (and all people) are more
able to handle shocking news when it is not immediate in time, and when it is
presented in print, rather than television. If your children do watch the news,
make sure that you sit with them to help explain what is happening and answer
their questions.
People in charge. Let your child know that people in authority--the
President, the mayor, teachers--are all making sure that everyone is going to
be safe. Remind your child that you are also making sure that he is safe. That,
after all, is your main job as a parent.
Maintaining perspective. If your child overhears that a plane has
crashed or a building has collapsed, you can reassure him that almost all
planes and buildings are still completely safe. These bad events only happened
in a very few, specific places.
Awareness of emotions. Even if children are too young to fully
understand what is happening as tragedy unfolds, from a very early age, they
are acutely aware of the emotional state of their parents. It's fine to let
your children know that you are upset and sad, but make it clear that you're
not upset with them, and try to be as calm and reassuring as possible.
Patience. As you try to process this tragedy, you must expect that your
children, no matter how young, may show signs of distress in response--whether
it is in the form of fussiness, fear, nightmares, or tantrums. Expect these
normal reactions, and be ready to deal with them with understanding and
patience.
Mutual support. It's very important to pay attention to your own levels of
stress and shock. If you feel, as many of us do, a sense of unreality or being
dazed, or if you feel a physical response to the news--tenseness in the chest,
for example--these are normal and expectable responses to the tragedy. As soon
as you can, find a friend, relative, or colleague, and talk about your
feelings--and listen in turn to theirs. Getting this support for yourself is
crucial, so that you will be able to be calm and confident with your children.

The Peace Prayer
Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace.
Let peace fill our heart, our world, our universe.
Peace. Peace. Peace.

"There are only two powers in the world--the
power of the sword and the power of the spirit. In the long run, the
sword will always be conquered by the spirit."
