DO NOT DONATE TO RED CROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reminder to NOT waste your money helping after IAN by donating to RC.

80% of what you donate goes to admin fees, ceo salaries.

Donate directly to someone you know affected, or to a local church. Your money will be put to use.

Saw too much bs from the rc after hurrican Harvey, including throwing away of donated food and supplies.

Lots of people in NY upset by Red Cross with Sandy. Really Upset. They didn't put much of what they received back into it.

Re: DO NOT DONATE TO RED CROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
20 years ago my wife and I were evacuated from our home for 2 weeks due to a huge area fire.

We went to the RC and they asked us what would best serve our needs at the time. I told them CASH, which they gave us.

When word got out that they were handing out cash, everyone and their brother showed up to get some. They had to shut down that program eventually as they ran out of available cash.

Those that didn't get cash were extremely pissed

Why do you think that Martha's Vineyard has a homeless shelter? It's just a way to launder money for the rich and get a tax deduction at the same time.

"The 18 most highly compensated employees received $8 million in compensation. 13 of the 18 (72%) most highly compensated employees are male while 5 of the 18 (28%) are female.

$709,164: Gail McGovern, President and CEO
$700,415: Clifford Holtz, COO
$651,238: Shaun Gilmore, Chief Transformation Officer
$642,142: James C Hrouda, President, Biomedical Services
$509,225: Brian Rhoa, CFO


320 independent contractors received more than $100,000 in compensation. The 5 most highly compensated were reported to be:"

-$10.4 million: Mindtree Limited, of Warren, NJ for IT consulting
-$10.4 million: One and All, of Pasadena, CA for printing and mailing
-$ 6.9 million: Servicemaster, of Memphis, TN for building services
-$ 6.3 million: Adecco Employment Services, Inc., of Jacksonville, FL for staffing
-$ 6.3 million: Whelan Security, of Charlotte, NC for security services"

This is why I would never donate to them. Think of the help they could give if they just cut these numbers in half...We could house several thousand homeless veterns with what they pay for IT services alone...

Re: DO NOT DONATE TO RED CROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its a real shame as people want to help those in need but the organizations you donate to take so much of the funds.

Just like our nation donating trillions around the world ,,, those dollars never make it to the man on the street.

I dont give anything to anyone unless it comes from my pocket and I put it in their hand.

You cant trust anyone

Not to mention, the last tornado that hit Moore, OK.

There was enough money donated to rc to build back/repair ALL the houses damage, with plenty left over.

Did the residents see anything? NOT A PENNY!

Re: DO NOT DONATE TO RED CROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed they sucked for Sandy. I was literally under water and could not even get a fresh blanket living in a muddy house for weeks. I called for rescue or directions or help and they asked for a donation. No help.

I saw they have an app now so maybe AI can do better.

Samaritan's Purse stuck around much longer than the Red Cross after Sandy hit NJ. They were there on the ground working in our community for months. Red Cross took off after they ran out of coffee and blankets.
