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?

Back off.
Giving someone shit because they donate their hard earned money and TIME to a charity of their choice? What kind of fucked up logic is that?
Donating money to the children of Africa and the vast AIDS epidemic will not solve any problems. The issue is much deeper than that.
Damn, criticizing someone because they give to charities...
