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.

OK SO WHY is the AMERICAN Red Cross taking care of other countries and not paying attentin to the homeless here.
Nice homes, hot tubs and a pool I bet
That sounds about right. Build a couple of cheap houses and pocket the rest. Ever wonder what happened to all that money that people donated to Katrina victims? Do your research before you give. Most of these so called charity foundation’s including the Red Cross. They are out for themselves. Think about it people.
I Have 10cents of every dollar donated is all that goes to help with relief the majority of the donations go into their own pocket
Support the Salvation Army where the money goes where it’s needed, not for excessive salaries.
When Bernie Madoff defrauded people the lawyers went after the money..Go after the administrators of Red Cross and prosecute for theft and send the messge to charities you will go to jail for miss handling of public monies.. SHAME ON YOU!!
