I volunteer with this organization and love it. We called in advance, no one answers, I left a voice message and they didn't call me back. We arrived during the opening hours of the Red Cross, but the doors were closed. We called again many times. There was no one at the reception, but a woman was sitting in the back office, she turned and looked at us but did not open the door. It feels like the building is empty and there was only this woman there. We are Ukrainians and we really needed help, but we did not wait for it. Also, one man wanted to go inside, but could not  i called and left a message for the american red cross okc and no ones called back Fantastic place and just loving and caring staff. My friend lost everything in a fire and Red Cross stepped in to help.  Doing my part I WAS HELPED, THEY ANSWERED QUESTIONS ON BLOOD LOSS + DONATING.\nTHANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!🎀  Excellent place to get re certified in BLS/CPR Red Cross took care of us during the 1999 Tornadoes, we would be lost without them.  I would like to give a shout out to Olivia and John with helping my wife and I get some assistance after we lost everything we own in a house fire earlier this week.The money that was given allowed us to get some clothes,couple nights in a hotel,& helped with getting my wife the medicine she so desperately needed.God bless this organization.I look at the world  with a little different view...with all the ugly in the world it’s easy to forget that there is still some good in this crazy planet!! Red cross helped me and my husband when we had a gas in a home we lived in emporia,kansas  We had a house fire earlier this week! The fire department found out that we had no where to go until the house was deemed livable. They made 1 phone call to the red cross! The Red cross was there fast! Helped us with lodging, food, even gave little man a stuffed mickey mouse. It took so much stress off of me and my husband! God Bless The Red Cross!! SCAM ALERT, Had to re-certify in First Aid/CPR, along with my friend, so I paid $240 for the two of us. Traffic got heavy but we got there just after the class had started (less than 5 minutes). Receptionist told us we were too late and would have to register for the next class (not available for a whole month and I would have to pay again for the class). We HAD to have it that month for a job and we couldn't get in earlier. We could call the number to get a refund, and we all know that is bullcrap. Have you ever called customer service asking for a refund? They leave you on hold then eventually just hang up, I imagine Red Cross would be no different.\n\nObviously that was unacceptable so we asked if she would talk to the instructor to help us, since we knew everything and we just needed the re-cert, and she agreed. She then spent the next 10-20 minutes texting, passive-aggressively smiling at us, and telling us we could not go into the class or there would be consequences. I reached my breaking point, something I hardly ever reach and something I'm never proud of. I was belligerent. I told her she better get her unpaid a-s-s in there and get us those signed papers, or she would have to explain to the cops why I called them out to report a fraudulent business. Finally, a friendly custodian showed us into the class, where I was then met with the same instructor I had before, they were friendly but not really willing to listen as to why we were now 30 minutes late to class (WE COULD HAVE BEEN ON TIME IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT BRATTY VOLUNTEER RECEPTIONIST!).\n\nThen the instructor tried to tell us that we couldn't take the class because we didn't do the online course (it was so broken when I signed up, it hardly even ran the program before crashing, I figured that it was just new and experimental and I could work it out with them when I got there, or that we used computers in the classroom), we would have to leave. I refused, saying that whatever was on the course we probably already knew (I'm an Eagle scout for Pete's sake!) At some point some morbidly obese orange valley girl with her spray tan running around her eyes tried to give me attitude to please her inner insecurities but I can't blame Red Cross for its annoying customers and classmates.\n\nThey then told us that we could take the test but that if we failed even one question we wouldn't get our refund (as if we were actually going to get a refund in the first place). We aced the CPR course then took the test. We passed every question except the last one, the trick question, even after being separated to avoid cheating (we would never but safety first). We were told that technically our answer was correct (there were two incorrect answers and two correct answers), but they were looking for the most most correct one. I could tell they didn't dare try to screw us on that and that it would be easier for all of us if they just signed the certs, else I go belligerent again.\n\nTo sum it up, the Red Cross here did everything in its power to try and screw us into giving them more money, even when we pleaded with them that we needed the certification and that we paid their exorbitant prices to get the certification. It wasn't until I threatened to call the police to report fraud that we were actually treated like human beings and not someone else they can mug.   Fantastic place for helping others I took a course for First Aid/CPR and AED training. The instructor was nice and made the class enjoyable. Definitely would recommend going here if someone is needing to get certified.
