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.

They are the worse when it comes to wasting money ,I don’t donate anymore ,and I don’t give blood anymore either
Red Cross is pretty corrupt. I’ve read many instances of corruption from legitimate sources.
Red cross just like the Cancer society. A scam
Stopped donating to this charity since 9/11 when they wanted to hold back donations.
What a shame
I give to St, Jude’s and the Shriner’s and that’s it, To many bad stories with most of these other so called charities.
With the money raised they could have rebuilt Haiti. Instead it went into the pockets of thieves, liars. I do not donate to them because very little gets to people who need the aid
I stopped giving blood to the Red Cross when I started checking out the outrageous salaries they pay their executives. They take your blood for free then sell it for a pretty penny to the hospitals. They raise tons of money for things like Haiti but WHERE does it go? Obviously not to the people they are supposed to be helping!.
Red Cross donates 10cents on the dollar. Nobody should donate to their crooked arses!!! They treat people like trash during disasters also, saw it with my own eyes while I volunteered. I quit volunteering and went out and worked in the field with local people helping local people, screw the Red Cross
Always thieving, I never donate to them. They never do what they say
