I know that he was in army and thats why his family doing this and money will go to them,but maybe much better thing would be if this money would go to some kids who also need it!in this case this money will also go to families and soldiers who have problems,but we all know that other people need money!

Many have needs , children are the ones most people prefer to help , but others do exist , people with disabilities , they also have families , which means children of their own, also wives , sometimes unemployed or also with some health problems .
The world is full of problems and it lacks will to apply the solutions , only when humanity and compasion and people with their charity campaigns come together , then solutions are applied , then future becomes brighter for children , for ill people , for the human being as a whole
I am sure this charity'cause will help the right people

It depends on the human soul because in this world many persons are evil and stingy. Others have good mentality, more money or other values... that is not important to them. They decide for donate them. Good decisions when you want to help.

Dule-vu, Americans do these ugly things not because of themselves. Guilty are who lead them. Their bosses are Jews. In many countries same...They don't donate money, but most good Americans are generous. You are? have u ever donated anything? or you're stingy?
