It was an example of a situation.
I wasn't stating that these things only went to terminally ill kids. I was highlighting one possibility that could potentially happen.
Furthermore, I wasn't saying that people shouldn't help kids. All I'm saying is that there are people in this world who don't even have the luxury of food, and I think it's sad that one group of people are raising money so that these kids are 'entertained' whilst in hospital, while other, less fortunate kids in the world are dying because they can't even afford food.
It was simply an observation about the differences in lifestyles of different groups of people in the world which made me sad. The fact that Western children have decent food and healthcare, and still require additional toys and games to make their recovery 'bearable', while some children, in parts of Africa for example, don't even get food.
I'm sorry if that offended you. It's just my viewpoint. I'm not saying people shouldn't donate to this charity, or that what they're doing is 'wrong'. I'm just saying that I don't think we're as grateful for what we have as we should be.
