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.

This is so bad…
Between them and the CF, the Haitians should have gold faucets in every building… But, they don’t even have a building….
So where did the millions go Clintons in charge we know where it went
Why do people keep donating? Don’t they ever check them out to see where the money really goes. Stupid.
Now this is why elected officials are million aires they are stealing from the American people
No. Check out how much money the Leo’s make per year. Then, once you pick your mouth up off the floor, take a look at how much the salvation army CEO makes. I won’t even give blood to the red cross because I’m afraid they are probably selling it.
I saw this first hand in Mississippi after Katrina. The independent shelters did so much for people with private funding and unpaid volunteers. Red Cross shelters were a mess with no organization. Cold sandwiches and watered down drinks completed to hot meals at private shelters. So much more. Paid staff who did very little.
The Haitians know……….
This is why I don’t give any more.
THE RED CROSS stoled the money I had taken out of my paycheck for these people.
