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.

Don’t ask America
This why I give nothing to the red cross they are just rip off artists
drop in the bucket……seems that everyone forgot about 9/11……they raised way more than this…..put over half a billion in a “trust” for victims….and oh….guess what…never heard about it again…cant trust org. like this….they only people they really help …is themselves.
That is a sin
Never give money to these people !’or the united way !!
I have been warning about Red Cross! THEY ARE CORRUPT!
We should all know by now any government run organization is corrupt.
Somebody had their hands in the cookiie jar !
