Thank you for posting this. Many don’t realize that the Red Cross is corrupt and works with the Deep State in ‘helping’ foreign nations.

I’ve read that Franklin Graham’s Samaritans Purse is already on the ground with aid and supplies.

But... as with any charity - do your due diligence.

I well could be wrong here, very wrong. I will admit that up front. But one way I judge a charity’s worth by comparing the CEO’s annual salary to that of an Army colonel with 20 years of service.

These are rough values. Different sources give different numbers.

Army colonel: $138,000
CEO of the Red Cross: $694,000

And that’s why I tithe to organizations like Little Sisters of the Poor. No administrators there are getting rich on my donations.

Side note: I mean no disrespect to Red Cross volunteers.

The Knights of Columbus covers all overhead, so 100% of your donation makes it to those in need.

They should start by taking the salaries of the politicians that didn’t do their jobs. It sure ain’t climate change.

Red Cross built 6 houses -total in Haiti. They received @ $500 million in donations. And they had plans for many new communities.

Not just the Red Cross, but all these religious charities and NGOs too.

Better than red cross, find someone you hate and give them money.

Maybe 10% will go to the actual needy folks in Lahaina?

RC is a top-heavy sponge.

Next week it will be the hurricane in California for donations. First one since 1936! However, they will beg red working class for money. Bet on it.
