Donating to St. Jude's

I once had a physiology professor say something that changed my thinking for life when we were talking about some diseases being random and genetic.

He said "the only place i'll ever donate money to is St. Jude's. I don't feel bad for most adults because they made the decisions that got them where they're at. But there isn't a child on the planet who asked to get cancer"

I used to work in a hospital compounding drugs overnight and we had a preemie baby doing poorly. Compounding for infants is terrifying because you have to be accurate down to the 0.01 or it can kill them. When I was delivering the TPN I ran into the EMTs who had just picked her up and gave them the bag to administer. It was one of the only times I ever saw the person I made drugs for.

Really hope that kiddo made it. Couldn't care less about most adults but the children really do deserve for us to put our differences aside and do better for them.

Well done! Thank you.
 
thinking this will hopefully help a child in need out there brings me joy, as I have none right now. I am in a dark clouds time, so least I can do is shine more rays of sunshine down on kids in need.

The darkness doesn’t linger on forever, the soul will heal and you will once again see the light upon your path. As broken as the cobble stone may be, you shall see each crack with ease, due to the karma rays of light guiding you brother. Trust in the balance, trust in the strength, don’t accept temptation of the dark days as they bring nothing. Be easy brother.

I was just asking GA. Figured since he had profited about 4x on every vial sold since his “increase”…….he had a little extra to spare for the kids.
Thanks. Allowed me to steal your post. We didn't have to. I love "spamming" vendors for donations to this charity. Should do more.
 
This thread is just awesome. @Spaceman Spiff had a great idea. It’s just nice to see a group of folks who will likely never meet, but can come together for a common goal. And such a worthy cause.

I don’t know if anyone has ever seen the story but there’s biker groups who go escort abused children to court when they have to face their abuser. They’ll even go sit in the driveway all night watching guard if the kid calls and is scared to go to sleep in fear of the attacker. They’ll escort them to school, back home, whatever they need to feel safe.

This thread was stated so early in the year, maybe a goal should be set of how much the folks of meso can contribute to St Jude’s in 2025?

Mandatory contribution for all new vendors. Along with tit pics of course.
 
Didn't want this to become a tool to harass established vendors.


I feel like it's no different than someone asking to donate when I check out of the grocery store. Which I can't stand. If people browse around and decide to donate that is fine.

I guess can harass new vendors to donate 200 dollars
