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.

That’s the reason I don’t give too the Red Cross.
Bill and Hillary have their money for rebuilding. They said there wasn’t enough to go around, so they took theirs and you are just out of luck. Wasn’t the Clinton Foundation wonderful?
There needs to be an investigation into this matter.
I support the Salvation Army.
Would never give penny to red cross
May JESUS BLESS ALL THESE PEOPLE
Its really sad to see situations like this in other places but cant do anything really about it. Those places aren’t in the USA where we have first responders as compared to survivors digging out or rescuing survivors….like their calamity which nothing could have prevented…they weren’t prepared because they never thought it would happen.
The March of Dimes keeps 90 cents of every dollar for administrative costs & 10 cents for charity work.
