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 will never give to red cross or United way. Lining their pockets not helping as advertised. Scam. Get billions give out a pittance.
As usual, where did the money go?!!!!!!
Ask a WW2 or Korean war vet what they think of the red cross.
They could have built hundreds of small comfortable homes for people. Shame on them
Knew people served in WWll they always said red cross was the worst organization
As always the red cross robs againg
Ridiculous!!! Never let this organization handle your money.
Good reason not to donate to this so called charity.
When are people going to quit donating to this corrupt organization? Its no different then the
its no different then the Clinton foundation. Just check out what there executives make a year.
