I'm seeing a ton of advertising on YouTube for St. Jude Hospital. I'm just going to leave this from @ProPublica right here.
"Only about half of the $7.3 billion St. Jude has received in contributions in the past five fiscal years went to the hospital’s research and caring for patients ... About 30% covered the cost of its fundraising operations, and the remaining 20%, or $1 of every $5 donated, increased its reserve fund."

  St. Jude Hoards Billions While Many of Its Families Drain Their Savings
  
  from @propublica
  
  St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital promises not to bill families. But the cost of having a child at the hospital for cancer care leaves some families so strapped for money that parents share tips on spending nights in the parking lot.
