Well, it’s nothing new.
About 30 years ago my aunt’s chapter of Catholic Daughters wanted to make a big donation to the Jerry Lewis telethon, until they discovered that less than 6% of the take actually goes to the charity.
That figure may have changed over the years, so YMMV.
So many of these charities are big into “awareness” and “educating the public” and telling disease stricken people “that they can get over it” and showing them “where to go for help” and lobbying the government to spend more tax dollars,
but when it comes to actually opening up their own wallets to help the victims with living expenses, or pay some cancer treatment bills, or fund some promising research, or doing what most people think that are doing, it’s just not part of their mission.
