Child's Play charity brings in a whopping $1.4 million

But that is not the point of the program. making wishlists and getting games in the hands or suffering children are one thing, organizing the purchasing of land and building takes a LOT more work and staff.

Also the bigger organizations like feed the children and others are companies. Only small portions of each dollar spent goto the actual children.

Child's Play charity brings in a whopping $1.4 million

In response to "Disgruntled Goat"

I agree that keeping businesses like Amazon out of the loop would cut out the middle man and create more bang for the buck. I have not seen either way if the companies like Sony Nintendo etc etc donate directly.

I disagree about how you believe the money should be spent. It is not a charity based on building new hospitals or bettering the gamer image. It is to provide entertainment and escape for children stuck in hospitals. $1.4 million is nothing in the world of construction or operation costs for a building. Its a world of difference for children stuck in a bad situation with no real entertainment or escape from the reality of sickness.
