You folks should check out the Red Cross before you send your money. I know
in the day they have done some good things but there pockets get filled and they do not disclose the total of how the money is spent. I think RED cross is a good name. There are a lot of good causes out there Life Share Blood is a good start and many others . All I am saying is google it and check it out it is so easy to do.

Your site tells me that you spend a bunch of money on razing money and that the top number and the bottom number are vastly different ???

This is a very general ledger and does not give names of people or organizations that received the money ? With that much in donations you would think that they could do a better spread sheet !

I sure some of you have viewed the email going around about the Jena 6 and how the Red Cross went down there and set up tents and gave out water to the protesters. I do think the Red Cross has a political agenda and before you give you should check them out and find out just where it is you money is going. I will not donate to them so I choose Shriners which is a very good cause.

Hey Isaac, Check out the Salvation Armys' Ledger it's completely different. This group means business when it comes to helping folks.

I could not agree more. Very good post. The Salvation Army helps people that are down on there luck and has them ringing bells for there money. They use their money for the people.
I will add that I go to Life Share and give blood about four times a year. It is a very good cause along with Shriners Hospital that I support with donations.

Funny that the Red Cross did not come back with a reply and yes just what in the heck were they doing in Jena?????????? I don't recall a natural disaster being declared down there. Those fools CHOSE to be there. If they weren't prepared, so be it...suffer the consequences.
