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.

Red Cross is the money making machine of Vatican.
I donate to St.Jude and Dav..i hope they are not crooks..
So sad with all the curuption
Non-Profit Fraud has become a national epidemic. Thus far, no one is being arrested or prosecuted for this prevailant crime.. We must awaken our justice system!
The only way to put those criminals out of business is to quit donating to them. I remember when Elizabeth Dole was CEO of the Red Cross and making around $500,000 a year in the eighties and/or nineties. Most charities are nothing but scams or Slush Funds ran by scam artists, e.g. The Clinton Foundation. The money is not used for what it’s donated for – to goes to pay professional con artists who knowingly rip people off.
how about the Clinton “Foundation” money also .???
Im with you Andrea Thompson..the clintons and obamas are the biggest corrupt thieves and threw us all to the wolves(murduring muslims)..and divided our nation which thanks to obama we are now on the brink of another civil war!!
Red Cross stinks, charged the Greatest Generation Vets for coffee and donuts. My military family and military would have nothing to do with the red cross
OVERHEAD
The Red Cross stinks, they charged the Greatest Generation Vets for a coffee and donuts. My military family and military relatives wanted no part of the Red Cross. Dido for me as a Vet.
