Re: The Make a Wish Foundation

The Make a Wish Foundation grants wishes for terminally ill children. In 2006 it took in $182 million in donations.
I find it incredibly repulsive...That money could be going to educate inner city kids, cure diseases so those kids weren't terminally ill in the first place, or how about the "Make a Bridge Foundation". Instead they throw parties for kids who are going to die anyway. They're not making any kind of lasting difference in anyone's life, so far as I can tell.
My GF thinks I'm a heartless bastard, what does OOT think?

$182 million works out to about 60 cents for every man, woman, and child in America. Don't be such a heartless nit.
The money makes lasting differences in the lives of the children who are recipients of the made wishes that likely last...well, the rest of their lives.
