Today, on the 25th anniversary of Sept. 11, we pause to remember the lives lost, honor the courage of those who responded and reflect on the resilience that carried our nation forward.

Our volunteers were there in the days, weeks and months that followed, supporting families, first responders and communities impacted by the tragedy. Twenty-five years later, we continue to be inspired by the compassion, unity and service that emerged during one of our nation's darkest moments.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

❤️ "I would not have found him if it wasn't for Randy. And for the Red Cross."

After more than 12 years without contact with her father in Switzerland, a Montana woman turned to the American Red Cross Restoring Family Links program for help. With support from Red Cross volunteer Randy Warburton and the global Red Cross network, she was finally able to reconnect with her father.

Now, they're planning a long-awaited reunion.

September is National Preparedness Month.

PREPAREDNESS TIP OF THE WEEK: Disasters can happen anytime, and being prepared looks different for everyone. For people who rely on medical equipment, mobility devices or other assistive technology, taking a few extra steps now can make a big difference during an emergency.

✅ Have a manual wheelchair available if you use an electric wheelchair.
✅ Know how to use a backup power source for essential medical equipment.
✅ Teach trusted family members, friends, or neighbors how to operate equipment you may rely on during a disaster.

Preparedness starts with a plan. This National Preparedness Month, take time to review your emergency supplies, update your plan and make sure your unique needs are included.

The destruction caused by flash flooding in Nepal is devastating. Fast-moving water and debris washed away communities in a matter of moments.

Nepal Red Cross Society teams are on the ground, providing drinking water, first aid kits and other support to people affected by the flooding. Local teams are also assessing the situation and identifying how best to support communities in the days and months ahead.

Damage to roads and bridges has made it difficult to reach some areas, and in certain communities, aid can only be delivered by helicopter. The situation is challenging, but teams remain committed to getting assistance to those affected by this disaster.

For Ellen and John Burnside, giving back is a way of life. ❤️

The Idaho Falls couple spends retirement helping others as American Red Cross blood donors and volunteer blood donor ambassadors, welcoming donors at local blood drives and helping create a positive donation experience. They have each donated more than 50 units of blood and continue to give their time in support of patients who rely on lifesaving blood transfusions.

From military service and education careers to volunteer missions and community service, the Burnsides have dedicated decades to helping others. Their story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to make a difference.
