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 do not give to the Red Cross…for a multitude of reasons.
I don’t give to them either.
I never donate to the Red Cross, they are crooked, during WWII donuts and coffee were donated for the soldiers and the red cross charged the soldiers for them. My father-in-law was discharged, and trying to get home, the bus dropped at a Red Cross center in the middle of the night, and even though it was open, they wouldn’t help him with a place to sleep or getting him home .During the Vietnam War, my exhusband had to borrow money from the Red Cross to come home for his father’s funeral, he had to pay back double what he borrowed.
Red Cross is about as dependable as the Clinton “slush fund” foundation.
They are rip offs. Ask the vets from world war 2. How were they treated ? They were asked to BUY their donuts.
Red Cross is like the Clinton foundation only a few % actually goes to Charity the rest goes in the pockets of the greedy crooks.
Think that is bad, wonder what the Clintons kept????????
Should get money back from Hillary.
They must be useing the Clinton model
Where did the money go?
