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.

Red Cross noted for fraud , too many irons in the fire..
Killary and Bilk got the rest.
They have been squandering the donations for decades. They have been the one of the worst for the rate of donor dollar to amount reaching those in need. And the highest paid executive staff.
Red Cross is an aberration of help!
Why are you surprised with this? The Red Cross has always paid out 10 cents for every dollar they take in. They are probably as corrupt as the Clinton’s.
Rockport Texas was devastated by Hurricane Harvey. Red Cross came in, collected donations. When some people went to apply for the $400 they were told they didn’t qualify. I would never donate to the Red Cross, many more charities that do so much for people.
This is why I dont donate
Well, their overhead costs are pretty high.
Expensive homes, huh?
