More of my family's repugnant display of faith

RE: More of my family's repugnant display of faith
How much of a cut did the organization he is working for take? In other words, how much money actually went to Haiti to help Haitians? I can give money to the Red Cross (and I do) for a particular disaster and know how much they take for overhead.

Accepting charitable donations for pay is morally repugnant, particularly if you don't voluntarily inform the donors that you're getting a cut.

At least he did more good than evil even if his motives were selfish.

I mean, hell, even if he kept 75% and gave 25% to haiti, at least some money would be going there. Any money going to haiti to help them is good, no?

I think people are exaggerating the awfulness of this. Didn't this guy do some work? So, he got paid for the work and the majority of what he "earned" goes to Haiti.
