While those are noble causes, the odd thing is that it's helping those who do not need it nearly as much as, for instance, the children in Africa do.
For instance, I believe that the Make A Wish foundation works hard to give children with life-threatening illnesses a better life. Meanwhile, children in poor countries are dying because they can't afford medical treatment of any kind. Some of the diseases killing them could easily be treated with only a small fraction of the cost of making a US kid a bit happier. But why is making one kid happier more important than saving the lives of a dozen others? Simply because those children were born in a place where they didn't have any chances to begin with?
