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.

I never give to Red Cross, their crooks. Salvation Army is good to donate to.
I no donate to the Red Cross…
Red Cross is a scam, do not ever donate to them!!!!!
6 homes at a half a billion dollars, they must be nice.
I have read some get as little as 2%. And no more than 4% which is rare. Give to your local people to help our people in our community.
I love the defense that was given before, we are saving it for other disasters that may happen…
The CEO OWNS Goodwill. Multi-Million salary each year and increases each year that goes by. I give to CandleLightets (children who suffer from cancer), VFW, Wounded Warriors. I want to KNOW where MY money is going.
Sad!
Did #ClintonFoundation run this too?
Just like the clintons raised money but don’t do anything to help
