but on the other hand doges community on reddit also does a lot of charity
Tip:
Using a reddit post about someones' dying child as an opportunity to promote your coin is fucking sickening. I saw this happening today. It has nothing to do with charity, it's just blatant opportunism, and it's pathetic. Put your morons on a leash.
Want to contribute to charity? Send money in a way that doesn't involve trying to get a dying child and their parent(s) to become a poster child for your idiotic meme in return. I know donating to charity without trolling for recognition or free publicity is a foreign concept on the modern internet, but try it out some time.
I do agree that these kinds of requests are emotionally difficult and tend to make most people uncomfortable. We can't help everyone and it is inappropriate to single out one child with medical problems over the others, although as a parent you are going to want to do anything to help your child. For these reasons the Dogecoin Foundation selects and coordinates charitable projects for those who wish to give just as Litecoin has done. I think that is the correct response.
I have respect for anyone who would prefer to give anonymously. It is generally my preferred route too, but I also think the best way to raise money for a particular project is to raise awareness and set goals. People like to feel good about themselves and feel they have made a difference. The outcome is the most important things and whether you view this as cynical PR or not, a number of good causes have received money.
