Well, when you donate to the red cross, they have an operational fee that pulls off every dollar you donate. Then it gets pooled into their accounts and they shell out money for food, medicine, and supplies. But what happens when the Red Cross is no longer needed, ie, no more food, no more medical supplies? Well whatever is left over stays with them and goes to other things other catastrophies. Who helps them with finding a place to live? With finding a job? With rebuilding their home? Red Cross doesn’t.

So think about that before you choose where you donate. First response is Red Cross, but what about after they have done their job. Where is your money more important at this point?
