Despite being in summer, it is likely that you have seen the news and you have heard about the floods that Louisiana has suffered in the United States, where more than 80.000 people have been evacuated and at least 13 people have lost their lives. Many people have lost everything and need the help of everyone who can contribute. At the moment the losses have been valued at 50 million dollars, an amount that will unfortunately grow as the days go by. President Barack Obama has approved a declaration of a Major Disaster, a natural disaster very similar to the one that Sandy caused a few years ago.
The guys from Cupertino, who they always try to collaborate in this type of natural catastrophe, as it did a few months ago in the floods in China that caused a large number of deaths, has made it available to any American user who wants support the page on iTunes to raise money for the Red Cross. The donations that iTunes users can give are 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 dollars and it is only available in the United States.
All donations that users want to make, they will have to go against the associated credit card as iTunes credit cannot be used to do it. The last time Apple enabled this donation system for the Red Cross was in the fires of last May in Alberta, Canada.
Apple has become an important partner for the Red Cross, since it allows you to quickly collect money in a simple and agile way, without having to go to the bank to make a deposit or do it through our bank's website. Thanks to this system, any user, wherever they are, can selflessly collaborate helping those most affected.
