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.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. This is why foreign countries have grown to despise us.
All these organizations are stealing from victims who have nothing
Horrible
AND the President. Of Red Cross makes in access of $500,000 dollars in salary…I give to the Salvation Army:) they are truly nonprofit!
They give charities a bad name….lots of charities don’t give hardly any of what they take in

Taking a sobering look at NGO’s and the organized theft they conduct as they go from one natural disaster to the next should be someone’s Pulitzer prize-winning documentary.
The story of RC in Haiti is why I will no longer give to them. Their non-participation in the California fire relief effort is another reason. Mere presence and money taking does not constitute charity activity. Once I figured out that the RC channels it’s funds through the Clinton “foundation” check book to themselves, they completely lost all shreds credibility they might have been able to regain.
The Red Cross needs to go away, their leadership incarcerated for fraud and money laundering. All funds that are left need to be given to Samaritan’s Purse and Doctor’s Without Borders. They actually help people. Always.
Follow the money
Whoever the hell is on here as Shirley Davidson you are a f**e. Get a fucking life.
