Red Cross Tough Times
In this Sept. 16, 2008 file photo, Martha Perez, her son 20-month old son Emmanuel Matias and friend Mayra Perez, right, walk back to their home after receiving hot meals from the Red Cross in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike in Baytown, Texas. The worsening recession in early 2009, coupled with a seasonal surge of house fires, has depleted the resources of many American red Cross chapters as they struggle to meet rising demands at a time of dwindling donations.
