Reading about fraud is always upsetting, but reading about charity fraud is downright infuriating.
When the already-impoverished nation of Haiti was struck by a devastating earthquake in 2010, people around the world opened their checkbooks to donate money to the reconstruction of the country. Among the recipients of these generous donations was the Red Cross, who pledged to help the people of Haiti get back on their feet with the millions of dollars given to them.
Yet five years after launching LAMIKA, a project named after a Creole acronym for “A Better Life In My Neighborhood” and meant to build hundreds of homes in Port-Au-Prince, only six homes have been built across the entire country, forcing citizens to continue dwelling in shacks without water, electricity or basic sanitation and regular flooding. In short, the Red Cross has delivered far less than it promised not just to it’s donors, but to the people it claimed it would help as well.

Even that is iffy Nicolas Michonski. I’ve seen homeless wheelchair bound people get picked up at the end of their “shift” by people in Cadillacs and Lexus. Also, man and wife teams standing on the corner at restraunts with help needed signs on their doors. I encountered a woman and a boy on a Wal-Mart parking lot. I told her no I didn’t have cash. I went back in the store and got $20. When I returned to help her out, she was getting in a Lexus and driving off.
That is why I do not give money to charities. most of them are a bunch of crooks as far as I am concerned.
There is a lot of charity fraud.
Say what you will about Red Cross, you gotta give ’em credit for sticking by their guns and not covering up their finding only about 300,000 total deaths throughout the German concentration camp system during World War 2, the vast majority from illness and starvation via allied terror bombing campaigns.
remember this crime…
I,guess all the execs got raises.
Give to the Salvation Army.
They raised that much money and they were only able to build 6 homes???
Enough money for 2,500 nice homes
c**p like this is why i no longer donate to the red cross
