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 thought the red cross would cheat people out of donations raised for them. I guess they just became another Clinton foundation crooked till the end
Sounds like a foundation project
Red Cross Rip Off
Sad but very little donation ever makes to the people that need it…most are scams
My husband said this about Red Cross 50 yrs ago. He saw it first hand after a hurricane and Air Force was called in to help. They charged the volunteers for water,pop, everything. He would not donate to them at all.
Always have been! Red Cross is awful.
I still say i am going to start my own foundation so i can become a millionaire
And lets not forget the Clintons and thier foundation that ripped millions off collecting money to help those in Haiti!!
The Red Cross doesn’t help the Needy during disasters. Give money to your local VFW or the SALVATION ARMY, they help people, not CEO’S.
For those who oppose CEO pay scales, where does the money go in these organizations that’s purpose is to help the folks?
