This morning I met Carla Hilterbrick, a health services volunteer from the Martin County, Florida Chapter of the American Red Cross. Carla is currently volunteering at the Red Cross special needs shelter in Casselton, North Dakota.
As a native Floridian, Carla isn’t used to the cold North Dakota weather. “I have NEVER been so cold” Carla told me.
Carla explains “I’m here because, as a local Red Cross volunteer I know what it’s like to need help. After experiencing a few hurricanes I know that ‘Oh my gosh, I am so happy to see you’ feeling when nationally deployed volunteers arrive to help.”
“I will deal with a blizzard and cold weather, even though they’re not my thing because many people, some of who may have not cared for the hot and humid weather of southern Florida, have come down to assist us when we were beat up.”
Carla is one of 560 volunteers, from 45 states, who are currently volunteering with the Red Cross in Minnesota and North Dakota.
