Me too, until the time that I donated an amount that I could afford to them, only to have a follow up letter Thanking me for my donation, however, it, according to them was not enough, to help them do the work that they are trying to do. Please send more ASAP. I try to get past that and think of the kids, but, that approach turned me off completely. So I started to spend time and money supporting the Make a Wish Foundation. They seemed to appreciate whatever I could do. Now that I am retired and have no huge steady income, I have to be very selective in what I donate, but, I do what I can do.
I like both Make a Wish and St. Jude's. I do get annoyed with all the solicitations St. Jude's sends me trying to get me to donate more. I get that they need to promote but it is still annoying.
