Review for Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island, Inc., WEST SAYVILLE, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

For the past 5 years I have been going on CRESLI's whale watch trips. (2 day trips and 4 of their Great South Channel trips.) These trips, no matter what wildlife we see (or do not see) are amazing. Everyone involved in facilitating these trips, no matter what their role, is smart, hardworking and kind. I have seen astonishing things on these trips that I will remember for the rest of my life. I hope to continue going on these worthwhile trips for many years to come.

Review for American National Red Cross, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

From personal experience as a pregnant 9/11 widow in New York City, dealing with the RC when I was a traumatized victim was truly the repeated kick in the butt I certainly didn't need since I was already so low down! And even though I had a legal background, it was still exhausting and unpleasant to deal with such incompetent, and sometimes malicious organization.
Unfortunately, as I've followed the Red Cross over the years, always receiving the most funds after catastrophic events, things have changed very little. You can also look at articles by Stephanie Strom of NYTimes. She has documented the RC's misdeeds post disaster again and again.

Please consider donating to organizations that are kind, compassionate, and competent. There are many ones that are worthy. I am truly appalled that so many intelligent good people continue to give their good will to such an unworthy organization.
