我选择了最快捷的方式。打开美国红十字会网站的主页（http://www.redcross.org），从中间偏上的位置找到Response to the China Earthquake，单击后进入下一页。页面右侧有一个DONATE NOW按键，点击后可以看到两个选项，CHINA EARTHQUAKE RELIEF排在上方。接着进入信用卡信息页，花一分钟填写好捐赠金额、姓名、地址、卡号等内容并提交后，爱心就已经献给四川灾区人民。美国红十字会限定的最低捐赠额为10美元。

 

捐赠完成后，接着出现的是美国红十字会的感谢信。最后，美国红十字会还会告知他们的纳税号，明年4月给山姆大叔报税的时候，我们这笔捐赠的钱可以抵联邦税。 美国红十字会募得的所有款项将全部交由中国红十字会使用。
