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.

They need to be investigated for fraud and sold our vets coffee omg
My father always had low regard for Red Cross. He was in Burma during WWII and said when they showed they had donuts , for a nickel. No nickel, no donut. Never supported them and neither have I.
THE RED CROSS IT A CROOKED PILE OF C**P. THEY DON’T GIVE ANYTHING . THEY CHARGE FOR YOUR OWN BLOOD IF YOU NEED IT. THAT IS WHAT THEY DID TO MY FATHER. DONORS GIVE BLOOD TO MY DAD THEN THEY TRIED TO CHARGE HIM FOR EVERY LAST PINT. IT DIDN’T WORK OUT SO WELL BACK THEN BECAUSE OF A COMPANY I WAS WORKING FOR MADE THEM ACTUALLY GIVE . THAT IS ONLY ONE CASE .
Red cross should not have salary we donate for the people not their pockets
They should work for free no pocket money for them
Probably the Clinton foundation.
Red Cross, United Way and Catholic Charities are are more crooked than the day is long and I can say that because I have had to deal with all three and they all treated me negatively.
After years of faithfully donating to Red Cross, I found myself in need after a tornado and they treated me like a crooked redheaded stepchild. They accused me of filing false paperwork and trying to get money that wasn’t due me. I didn’t do it.
United Way and Catholic Charities got greedy in 1993 while we were in Romania trying to adopt. We had the process almost completed, had a child in our hands, needed ONE more signature, and they told us that it would cost a MINIMUM of $20,000 MORE than we already had paid. $20k was a whole lot of money in 1993. We didn’t have it and could not possibly get it, so we had to leave this poor little baby there and return to the USA childless. My wife cried for weeks ( on the outside). She still hurts today and so do I.
I will only support LOCAL charities now.
I had just gotten to Vietnam in Aug of 1966. On 1 Oct, the Red Cross notified me that my Dad had passed away. He was only 46. They asked me if I would be home for the funeral and I told them I would be there in three days. When I got home, they had already put him in the ground. I was so upset. I went to the local office and told me that they would never get a red cent from me again. To this day I do not donate to the Red Cross. Go on and check the percentage of a dollar that goes to help people versus the amount spent on administration. No a pretty site.
The Red Cross wants to manage every disaster area.
They will tell l9cal churches and other groups to step back from disaster relief.
Then they give the barest of necessities, all while ask for donations from the one in need.
Most charities are the same if not all , 85% go into the executives pockets and the 15% goes to the affected and the so called volunteers
