I've been partial to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. We've had some kids with terminal cancer in our local community that were able, because of the organization, to enjoy a few family trips and special visits before they died.
Some people have said that it's a pointless endeavour because money is just being tossed to someone that is going to die anyway, instead of giving to a research facility. But, I have always felt that a child/family that has to deal with such tragic circumstances should be able to see some dreams and wishes realized before the end.
