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 been awhile ago, but still stings. The Red Cross, I’d guess, has been scamming the public for a very long time.
I learned years ago about the Red CrossLong time ago. I won’t give to them!
The Red Cross sucks
Red cross charged WW2 soldiers for coffee and donuts, hence those soldiers refuse to give money to the red cross, me too!
KILLERY strikes again!
I never give money to large organizations.
These people are thieves& should be prosecuted!!
But ultra elitist liberals love the corrupt Clintons!
Most of these so called help groups only help themselves to the money
This is why I don’t contribute to the Red Cross.
