Yele Haiti’s coffers swelled to $16 million in 2010, the most the charity had ever received. But less than a third of that went to emergency efforts, and $1 million was paid to a Florida firm that doesn’t seem to exist, The Post has learned.

Records show dubious spending from Wyclef Jean charity - NYPOST.com

As we approach the peak season for charitable fund raising I think this can serve as a good warning signal to pay attention to who you give your money to so that they help people instead of themselves.

I think Wyclef put it pretty well in the song "Mista Mista"

The Score
Mista Mista
Sung by: Wyclef

Mista mista
Can I get five dollars
So I can get something to eat
HELL NO MOTHER****A
You can't get no money from me
Cause everytime I give you a dollar
You go get shot up with more and more needles
And you tell me that you're drug free
Drug Free
Mista mista
I haven't ate anything for a week
Can I get a quarter?
HELL NO MOTHER****A
What can a quarter get you?
Nothing mother****a
You are just ****ed up
Off them ****ed up drugs
You know you need to leave alone
But you keep telling me that you're drug free
MOTHER****A
You ain't drug free, you're a fiend
And everytime I try to help you
You pretend as if it's okay
Then later on in the week
You go back to shootin' needles, to sniffin'
Oh mf, but you told me you were DRUG FREE
DRUG FREE
You ain't drug free mother****a
So you damn well, can't get no mother****in money from me
