"9958" has recently become a hot word because of a female college student who has passed away, Wu Huayan.
Wu Huayan
The connection between the two, we quote the public response of the Children's Mercy Society to illustrate: "On October 25, 2019, the 9958 Rescue Center verified and assessed Wu Huayan's family's poverty, critical condition, and long-term treatment, so it accepted Wu Huayan's and her family's request for help. Wu Huayan and her family then filled out the 9958 rescue application form and officially entered the rescue process.
The 9958 Rescue Center opened a fundraising project for her on the public fundraising platform, which attracted widespread attention from caring people from all walks of life. The micro public welfare platform and the water drop public welfare platform raised a total of 1,004,977.28 yuan for Wu Huayan."
Everything seems to be going smoothly, but the problem is that Wu Huayan only received 20,000 yuan in donations, the method of fundraising is controversial, and 9958 is also suspected of using other sick children who have passed away to continue fundraising, suspected of fraudulent donations.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >01 9958 "sold miserably" to raise millions</h1>
Philanthropy is not a tool for deception, but rather an act of loving giving, transparent finances, and execution in place.
"9958" harmonic "Save me", this is a sad call, but also a clear sign, we all understand.
Moreover, the 9958 Children's Emergency Rescue Center (hereinafter referred to as "9958") is one of the projects of the China Children's Charity Relief Foundation (hereinafter referred to as the "Children's Mercy Association"), and the official website of the "Children's Mercy Association" shows that it is a national public foundation with folk colors in China, and the registration department is the Ministry of Civil Affairs. There is no doubt that this is a regular public foundation, but its "9958" is jaw-dropping in the Wu Huayan incident.
The facts that can be confirmed are as follows:
Using sensationalism, he deliberately ignored the help of the local government and schools to Wu Huayan, and portrayed Wu Huayan as a lonely and helpless child, but this was not the case. Judging from the dynamics released by the official Weibo of 9958, the diet is provided free of charge by the hospital, the treatment fee is provided by the local government, and even the nursing volunteers are spontaneously organized by Wu Huayan School.
Wu Huayan's past life was not without the love of society. Public information shows that her classmates carried her to the doctor and gave her warm help; the local government gave Wu Huayan a low-security relief fund, and even gave a well-decorated two-bedroom house; the school provided subsidies, and there were also many well-wishers who gave her cash donations.
We can say that Wu Huayan's life has a loving companion, but because of the disease, she still fell down and eventually left this world.
In the fundraising copy of 9958, all the above good deeds are ignored, and the copywriting portrays Wu Huayan as a lonely girl living in an indifferent environment, inciting emotions, and the goal of everything is clear: fundraising, raising more money.
And the first time to raise 600,000 yuan was after the release of the fundraising project. The 400,000 raised for the second time was completely unknown to the Wu family. Why did 9958 do this? For the million charity, Wu Huayan was under great pressure and could not sleep all night.
Wu Huayan said in an interview with the media, "I am not as bad as they write, and there are many people around me who help me." She even said: "If not a single report was reported, then I would rather go home and wait to go to another world to fulfill my dreams, to write my poems, and to live a life without sadness."
Where is a little bit of warmth and charity that makes the parties so panicked?
9958 quickly raised 1 million, and then what? Then 9958 transferred 20,000 yuan to the hospital responsible for Wu Huayan's treatment, yes, not even 10%.
Not only shameless but also publicly lying, the Children's Mercy Society's reply said: "Combined with the reality of the local government's initiation of the rescue mechanism, Wu Huayan and her family also proposed that they wanted to set aside the remaining funds for surgery and rehabilitation treatment and reuse, so the remaining charity funds could not be allocated to the hospital", but the township government publicly responded that it did not interfere with the use of donations.
Is 9958 doing something that openly tears society apart? yes.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >02 9958 Employees feed dogs with tuna</h1>
What is the situation of 9958 in daily work? The Beijing News has publicly reported on this:
"In less than 5 months, there were 6 'suspension notices of transfer', except for one time because of the 'Care Summer Camp' activity for 7 days, and once because of the 'forum activity' for 3 days, the remaining 4 suspension reasons were expressed as 'team building'.""
The so-called "transfer" refers to the transfer of funds to the assisted child or hospital for later treatment. At the 9958 Rescue Center, hundreds of volunteers from all over the country, after learning about the transfer needs of the assisted children, submitted a transfer application to the rescue center, which was approved after review. Once the transfer was suspended for up to 13 days. The family of a child told the Beijing News reporter that there was a near delay in treatment.
With such frequent "team building", where does the money come from?
A staff member of the Communication Department of the China Children's Charity Relief Foundation said that this part of the cost comes from the income generated by the donation of financial management. Wang Yu told the Beijing News reporter that some of the donations accepted by the project were designated as "operating fees" by donors.
Four "team buildings" in less than 5 months, is this a little too frequent? Are you taking advantage of the opportunity to vacation?
The screenshot obtained by the reporter shows that at 12:29 noon on September 5, the staff of the rescue center released a photo wearing a long skirt, and the text said that the clothes worn on the body were "9958 Jiangnan team building clothing". Another insider said that from September 13 to 23, more than a dozen members of the rescue center spent a lot of money on team building in Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places.
It seems that 9958's little days are doing well.
Then we saw more online revelations: in the Weibo of 9958 employees and 9958 supervisor Wang Yu, we can see that 9958 has dogs in the office, and employees are responsible for making nutritious meals for dogs with tuna, silver fish and olive oil. Is it appropriate for a charity organization to use "tuna, silver fish, and olive oil to make nutritious meals for dogs" and post it on Weibo?
Article 60 of the Charity Law clearly states that charitable organizations "shall actively carry out charitable activities, make full and efficient use of charitable assets, and follow the principle of the most necessary management expenses, strictly practice economy, and reduce unnecessary expenses.".
Of course, we have no evidence that the cost of a dog's nutritious meal comes from a management fee, but seeing a charity's dog enjoy this treatment is really unpleasant.
Can you keep a low profile? Can you be a little more frugal? After all, 9958 is a child rescue organization, and it can save more children by saving money.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >03 9958 was alleged to have made fraudulent donations</h1>
9958 needs to respond positively not only to the aforementioned incidents, but also to a series of allegations of fraudulent donations, which are not trivial and must be replied to carefully and publicly.
Writer Chen Lan publicly pointed out on Weibo:
Sick children who died 6 years ago, @9958 Children's Emergency Assistance Center still uses them to raise funds.
Huang Tianyou, the child died in 2012, until June 2018, a full six years, still in the name of the child public fundraising. It was only stopped after it was exposed last year.
Sun Gaotian, the child died at the end of 2012, 2018, 6 years, 2018 is still publicly raising funds in the name of the child.
Feng Minghui, the child died at the end of 2012, 2018, 6 years, is still publicly raising funds in the name of the child. What about his balance??
Wang Haibo, severe brain injury. Hyperion was discharged from the hospital and was homeless. [9958 took the donation but did not accept him], and was later taken in by the Little Hope Family, and died of complications from head injury. Died in December 2015. The remaining 70,000 charity funds of Haibo are not known. In 2018, haibo fundraising, which was still used for 2 years, was stopped after it was revealed.
"Sun Gao died on January 14, 2013 today, January 14, 2013" The child died for seven years, still raising money with the child, and is still collecting donations at this moment. There are many similar projects.
9958 must publicly explain the money involving the above children, if it is confirmed (in fact, many people have taken screenshots) that they are still collecting donations after the death of the children, then what is not a fraudulent donation?
Using poor Wu Huayan's illness as a "selling point" to raise funds and ignore other channels of social assistance is already shameless, 9958 actually broke through the bottom line of human morality and continued to squeeze the tears and wallets of charitable donors in the name of the deceased, is 9958 a charitable aid project group, or a no-nonsense drama organization with the purpose of making money? Please reply to the Children's Mercy Association as well.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >04 400 million a year for financial management</h1>
When it comes to making money, some charitable organizations are really cattle, more cattle than many public companies.
According to the 2018 financial audit report released by the Children's Mercy Society, there are 400 million yuan in the account. 400 million to take financial management, it is really cool and crooked, so the allocation to children can be slower and slower, and even accept donations of 1 million to allocate 20,000, which is too much of a benefit. As for hoarded donations, charities can make financial gains, which can not be used for charitable funding, but can also be used for the distribution of internal bonuses. Cool or not?
It's okay to manage your money, but the speed of appropriations can't be faster. The ultimate purpose of this money is not to manage money, but to save people.
In addition, donations can be taken for another 6%.
To say something that makes all the donors depressed: charity is really a good business, have you donated it today?
9958 is now facing a number of complaints, and zheng Hehong, a public welfare person, has reported Wang Yu, the director of 9958, in real name. Zheng Hehong said that Wu Huayan, a "43-kilogram female college student", was used as a tool to accumulate wealth by Wang Yu, the director of 9958, "did not tell the patient the true situation, over-collected donations and did not allocate funds in time, dragging patients to achieve the purpose of hoarding donations... They will choose this kind of imminent death, critical danger and poor family conditions, which is their usual method of operation... We are a reporting team, since June 2018, found 9958 many violations, from tens of thousands of cases found 10 or 20 more serious violations, has been submitted to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. ”
9958 harmonic "Save me", will it be the project itself that will be saved in the end?
As for the Children's Mercy Society, this is not the first time it has been involved in such a storm: at the end of December 2019, the "Spring Bud One Help, One Aid" project of the Children's Mercy Society was revealed to be not earmarked, and the quota that should have been used for out-of-school girls in poor mountainous areas was diverted to boys.
Finally, at the urging of the All-China Women's Federation, the recipients were returned to the donors, and the method of converting the quota originally used to support boys to subsidizing girls will be corrected.
The irregularity in the management of the Children's Mercy Society is obvious, and what kind of management level and professionalism is it to be bold enough to change the recipients of donations without authorization? It was close to zero.
Of course, the Children's Mercy Society and 9958 cannot represent all the public welfare charitable organizations in China, but they have once again hit the image of Chinese philanthropy hard:
It turns out that you are so unprofessional;
It turns out that your life is so good, the dogs have eaten tuna and olive oil, and the world is still full of squeals;
It turns out that you can have four team buildings in less than 5 months;
It turns out that you can suspend the allocation of funds to sick children at any time in the name of "team building";
It turns out that in order to raise funds, you can turn a blind eye to the help behavior of others to give patients, and concentrate on "selling misery";
It turns out that you can raise 1 million and only allocate 20,000...
I've never seen a charity like this before, and thanks to 9958 and the Children's Mercy Society, you've made me more knowledgeable.
The Statement of Ethical Principles for International Fundraising addresses five fundamental principles in the field of fundraising: honesty, respect, integrity, compassion and transparency.
Which one did 9958 and the Children's Mercy Association do?
