Mroch decided to donate a percentage of her royalties to the Red Cross after hearing the organization was operating under a deficit.

“My husband and I personally didn't have to utilize the resources the Red Cross provides, but we saw others who did. It's really a remarkable thing to have an organization there to help during times of disaster. That's why I want to help them. They are always first on scene when the unforeseen causes chaos. But how can they help without any money?"
