My husband's mother was dying of cancer and asked ACS for help. She was told she would not be a success story. Are you aware when ACS is at a trade show and 3000 people attend the trade show, ACS has now informed 3000 people on cancer (it doesn't matter if only 14 stopped at their booth). Only a few cents of your $ donated goes to fund cancer anything. CEOs who are accused of stealing in one state soon end up as CEO in another state (can't make this up - it's in headline news if you ever followed it). Once I learned this and much more, I have never given another penny to ACS (or any of the big 3 help yourself charities).
Yes, too many of the "charities" touting they are engaged in or trying to find a cure are deceitfully quite the opposite.
Though, on close inspection their names can be the give-away . . .
As an example, notice it is not the "American Anti-Cancer Society," but the "American Cancer Society."
It never ceased to amaze me how effective that tactic was
