Same here - no claim to sainthood which helps illustrate how sick the world has become when such as we feel dirty from contact with it.
You can write it in your name, goes for the same cause, one of the few 100% charities that exist. All the money goes for research, health care and families to be with their sick kids.
When we first moved to Memphis, St Jude’s was fairly small, now it’s a block long and wide, and they are still adding on. They partner with a hotel for the families from out of town to stay, and they don’t care if the patient is from the USA or Russia. NO CHARGE care. Many of their cancer finds translates into the adult population. Life expectancy has greatly increased because of their research.
St Jude was founded by Danny Thomas, and he was a great guy. Marlo Thomas is now spokesman and she keeps quiet about her political views. I guess she is one of the smart ones in Hollywood. I guess she would hurt St. Jude if she said anything political.
Marlo Thomas doesn’t keep quiet
She and Phil have simply gotten old and out of the limelight
The left and some in media point out he can extort donations for access
Same media that ignored Clinton foundation that kept most of the money for themselves
Trump kept none
But I think word is out from dad...total divestment
My nephew had breast cancer (yes, males do get it). He is a fighter...we (his mom and dad, us and the rest of the family are proud of him.)
What the hell is compromising or conflicting about helping children through a wonderful cause? Absolute BS!
Because, that means that (if you are the parents), you didn’t ABORT them, so if they are sick, they need to be killed - or what they’d call very late term abortion. They hate children....
I do not understand.
Eric is not in the gov’t in any way.
Since when are family members of a politician not allowed to conduct a non-profit?
It was okay when the Clinton’s were doing it- - even while they lined their pockets, bought wedding dress etc . kept over 90%for themselves.
I’ve said there’s only 3 charities I’d give to.......St. Judes, Salvation Army and Samaritans Purse. God bless Danny Thomas for founding this wonderful organization. Countless lives of children with cancer have been saved.
True that!!!
How much did the various CLINTON FOUNDATIONS give to the St. Jude Hospital ?
