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.

Sounds like f**e news.
When a friend of mine house burnt to the ground and she has 2 kids . Red Cross gave her tooth brush and tooth paste . That was it . I will never donate to the Red Cross .
Sick to death of all of the crooked misappropriation of donated funds. Red Cross is one of the worse. Used to hold fundraisers for them, never again.
Red Cross , disappointing
My Dad said even during WWII when he was wounded he had to pay for his blood transfusions that came from the donated blood to the Red Cross! As a kid he would never let us give to the Red Cross because he didn’t trust them!!
Very disappointed
My dad shared a similar story about the Red Cross charging for blankets to needy families.
It’s always been this way !
