How the Red Cross Raised Half a Billion Dollars for Haiti and Built Six Homes

To be fair, the Red Cross job is not to build homes. It’s to triage and stabilize the disaster area. Not to rebuild or change land policies.
 
I've been saying it since i been on bgol to never give your money,time or items to any of those orgs because it's a scam.How do I know?As a teen I worked for GoodWill and the store I worked at netted in 35 thousand a month or better on people's donated items and some will say well they give back with that money by hiring unfortunate people which they do and a percentage of them are blind or black(one or two) but the pay is so low that most can't stay around and they get major tax breaks.

DON'T GIVE THEM ORGS NOTHING,NOT ONE PENNY CAUSE IT'S SMOKING MIRRIORS ......you better off going out on the streets and handing whatever out to the homeless.
 
Red Cross been a scam.. ask Yourself how is a charity telling people they have a certain amount they must start off with when donating money.. that at least $10 shit should’ve been put up red flags.. how you begging for money but telling me it must start with a certain amount.. than with this weird symbolic world we live in “red” “cross” seemed a lil satanic to me

Yeah a lot are shady

But to say not to donate to ANYONE

is just wrong

Cause I've worked for the church hospitals shelters and not for profits

Trust me there are a LOT who do real good work and save lives.

Just gotta do a little homework

Not you.... but most look for any excuse NOT to do something positive.

World Sickle Day is around the corner

Don't even need your money

Go on social media spread the word and send your local elected official an email to increase funding.

See there?

Free and real help

Let's see how many actually do it though?
 
Red Cross is total bullshit. Remember when they got called out, and they responded with: We don't collect money for the current disaster. We collect money for what might happen in the future.? Quite honestly, I can't believe people still donate to them.

Like someone else on this board said, I donate to causes whose work & results I can see. I donate to the Make A Wish foundation, because one of my grandsons was being treated for leukemia, and I saw first hand the things they do for those kids.

They straight up pretty much said 90+ percent of the funds don’t actually have to go to the disaster they are currently asking donations for

Exactly

But as someone involved in this stuff more and more now

Especially with as much as sickle cell is associated with black folk

Rightly or wrongly

I ain't even talking MONEY

Just spreading awareness bring active period

The response is weak and it's disappointing

Because they will hop on so called white illnesses or illnesses that don't really NEED more funding especially in comparison to ailments that SPECIFICALLY target our communities with no questions

But a "black" illness?

Run by black people?

These folks will find any excuse not to support.

Just watch this week I'm going to reach out to you and a folks on the board who always got me and my family because I already got stuff planned

But to all the pro black crypto millionaire anti government cats on the board

No money will be asked for.

Just support

Let's see if they prove me wrong.

of course I do. But to say they only built 6 houses, when they shouldn't have built ANY houses, is not the true problem.

I hear you but for them to even let that out shows a level of arrogance.

And trust the red cross partners with many other organizations to get things built and developed.

So you saying they don't build houses isn't exactly accurate.

They are involved in getting folk out of settlements and camps, raising funds for housing developments, repairs, rentals.

Hold on i never like talking without proof. Although I actually worked in non profits let me find the red cross response

My brother, the mission of the Red Cross is not to build homes/houses/permanent settlements. How they spend their money should be investigated and audited. non profits and NGOs are some of the biggest gold bricking organizations.

Like I said their job is not - but they do and have been involved in that aspect.


Did we plan to build more new homes? Yes, plans for three different communities of new homes funded by the American Red Cross were developed, of which two were outside of Port-au-Prince. I

I acknowledge that’s what they are doing. But it’s not their mission. Haiti needs all the help they can get, but it stuff like this that muddles an organization’s reputation

That is all I'm saying and been saying.

the fact is they PUT THEMSELVES in this position

They did it pledged to it committed money to it an FUMBLED it and MANY were seriously damaged by it.

they get absolutely no pass.

And they STILL going to try to do it.

So they in the home making business

when they shouldn't be.

and why does this type of bullsh*t always happen to the predominantly BLACK countries?
 
a crying shame.
