To donate blood, you must be 17 yrs or older, at least 110 lbs., and must not have given blood in the last 56 days. Contact your local Red Cross - look in the phone book, or use the locator at:

http://www.redcross.org/where/where.html

or use the 1-800-GIVE-LIFE blood donation hotline. If you can't get through, just wait a couple days, the lines will shorten within a week or so but the blood will be needed for months and months.

If you are under 17, contact your local Red Cross or Salvation Army chapter and ask them if there is anything they need you for now (being an attendant at the blood drives to pass out refreshments, give out forms, etc.). If you live in a safe neighborhood, consider going door-to-door and asking for money donations (ASK YOUR PARENTS OR GUARDIANS FIRST!!!). You can find the addresses to donate to here:

http://www.redcross.org/donate/donate.html

You could also start a collection at school as a class project (ask your teacher or principal for suggestions). Bake sales, garage sales, craft sales, etc. Be creative, and know you are helping people. Even though you may feel that it isn't much, if everyone does what they can, it is a huge effort.

I unfortunately cannot give blood due to medical reasons, so I understand if you are under 17 and frustrated. But your help in other areas is needed and appreciated, now.

Everyone can make a difference, even if you are not in the New York, Washington, or Pennsylvania areas.

My depest consolences to all of the people who lost someone in this tragic event.
All my thought`s and prayers to everybody.
May God bless you all.

MY HEART AND PRAYS GOES OUT TO ALL WHO HAVE LOST A LOVE ONE. IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP PLEASE CONTACT ME. I AM WILLING TO DO ALL THAT I CAN.

GOD BLESS

I am from the Philippines, a country that has a long tradition of brotherly ties with the United States. Seeing those horrible attacks against our "big brother" makes our heart bleed. We have always looked upon the US as our ally... and anything that pains you, pains us also. We condemn those terrorist act. We condemn those senseless mass killings. We condemn those who perpetrated this unthinkable crime.
May God bless America and may those who perished from the incident find rest in God.

MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN THIS TRAGEDY.
GOD BLESS US ALL.

On Tuesday September 11, 2001 I have never been so horrified in my life. I can not imagine the pain and sorrow that the people of America are feeling right now. My deepest sympathies go out to all those who lost family members and friends during this terrible act of terroism. I have been glued to the T.V. hoping and praying that there are many more surviors. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH AMERICANS TONIGHT AND FOR THE WEEKS AND MONTHS AHEAD. I will stand completely behind the United States of America during any retalitation acts they perform to avenge the BASTARDS that have done this to them--- GOD BLESS YOU ALL. With love from Toronto, Canada

The reason you cannot donate under the age of 17 is to protect you - a growing body needs to have a full supply of blood in addition to a good diet and exercise. The Red Cross won't be doing anyone any good if it makes you sick while you're trying to help others.

See below on how to donate money.

If you are under 17:

Contact your local Red Cross or Salvation Army chapter and ask them if there is anything they need you for now (being an attendant at the blood drives to pass out refreshments, give out forms, etc.). If you live in a safe neighborhood, consider going door-to-door and asking for money donations (ASK YOUR PARENTS OR GUARDIANS FIRST!!!). You can find the addresses to donate to here:

http://www.redcross.org/donate/donate.html

If there is a Coinstar machine in your grocery store, you can donate change to the Red Cross through these machines. See:

http://www.redcross.org/donate/coinstar.html

They will most likely not need food or clothing at this time; what is needed most are donations of blood and money.

You could also start a collection at school as a class project (ask your teacher or principal for suggestions). Bake sales, garage sales, craft sales, etc. Be creative, and know you are helping people. Even though you may feel that it isn't much, if everyone does what they can, it is a huge effort.
