What changed with Haiti…
![Page 17: Superstorm Sandy, Social Media, and the Work of the American Red Cross | SoCon13](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c789324a7959d2718b45c7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
We estimate that we touched nearly 2 million Haitians with a variety of relief and recovery services since the earthquake and we expect to support these survivors in the years ahead until the last donated dollar is spent.
