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.

Wtf is that
The Red Cross and the Salvation Army are like peas and carrots, I wouldn’t p**s on them if they were on fire
Red Cross is as corrupt as the Clintons
Like a tragic Monet painting, followed by explanatory comments.
I’ve been hearing too many stories about the corruption of the American Red Cross.. Another one that needs to be on the Drain the Swamp List!!!
And that sports fans is why the Red Cross doesn’t get a dime of my money.
I just looked this up the other day for some reason! I had a fire men’s fund call me a while back. Told them to send me a invoice, before the bill came I checked them out, less than 5% actually went to people. So I didn’t send them any money, a few weeks later they called, I told them they were a scam not a charity, don’t call me again and I’m not sending my pledge,
Red Cross is a Ponzi scheme, Salvation Army is the real Deal.
Hey, they made a good speech didn’t they?
This has always been the Red Cross … your donations go in a general fund reminds me of a somewhat less than the Clinton foundation… big business…
