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.

A few years ago, a couple friends were burned out of their low-income apartment building. People in the community got the ladies that had been burned out moved and in new accommodations within hours. Red Cross showed up during the fire with blankets and then left. They didn’t come back until a week later, and bragged about all that they had done for the folks that had been burned out.,
Anyone looking for a charity to donate to look at St Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The money does go to cover the cost of care for children with cancer. They saved my son’s life 22 years ago and still follow him to see what affects it is having on his body today. He was 4. Others had told us there was no hope.
Clinton foundation
Trump submitted his financials prior to running. Six CORPORATE bankruptcies in 40 years, out of 500+ companies is actually an accomplishment.
stop the aid altogether
There are only a few charities that actually give most or all the money to victims. The rest help very few but make the CEOs rich. Why do people donate to any charity without checking them out first.
During ww2 Red Cross charged soldiers for coffee and donuts. My uncle was in the army and told is not to donate to Red Cross
Good will in NOT a charity. Give to the Salvation Army. They are a true charity
ASPCA is another fraud
