You know after 911 and all the millions and millions of money raised for the family's of the survivors, with the family's, the fire fighters, the police responders the count was about 10,000- 15,000 that needed help.
So $200,000,000 at a very low guess was raised, Each family should have received at least $1 million from the donations.
Scandal, we find the Red Cross had ear marked most of the money for other projects, totally unrelated to 911 the reason the money was raised for. We never got an accounting of how much of our money went to the victims family's, or how much went in trust for the first responders that developed lung disease in a few years from their work.
Just what are the salary's of the top Red Cross controllers getting per year, might be surprised to find how many get well over $300,000 a Lahore does that money come from ? How many are there making over $200,000 a year -----20-50 ?
These salary's have to come from donations, so what do the the victims the money is donated to get, chump change.
I do not donate money to any Charity unless I know where my money is going, not in the back pocket of of a fund raiser. So I donate to the only Charity I have seen in action, The Shriner's Hospital for Cripple Children , Betash,[SP] Been 20 years since I saw my dads Hat, of Fez's or what ever the heck he wore with such pride.
The company I work for had an aggressive fund raising campaign for the Red Cross and Sandy victims. The first week they raised 2M. By the end of the 3rd week, it was 4M. The majority of these donations were made five and ten dollars at a time....This was on top of all the truck load of supplies they sent and other emergency services my little company provided. Five truck loads of bottled water showed up within hours after the storm. I am sure DUmmies were the first in line for some of those services. Temporary pharmacies were even set up so people could continue getting medication as many drug stores were simply flooded and destroyed. They also set up medical clinics in trailers to treat the sick and the ill.
Vesta, I sure hope you never need the help of the Red Cross. I had a house fire once. They quickly helped me while I was waiting on the insurance adjuster.
DUmmies don't have time to donate, they are too busy standing in line waiting for donations.
