I Play on Facebook
I play a bunch of the different apps on Facebook. For example, I play Mafia Wars, Vampire Wars, Demon Wars, School of Magic, Sorcerer of Darkness, Barn Buddy, Farm Town, Sweet Shop, Sea Garden, Lil Green Patch, and a few others. Games like Sweet Shop, Sea Garden, Lil Green Patch, and My FairyLand actually help you raise money for causes. However I have to be careful when playing the games. You see, Sweet Shop benefit's St. Jude's, which a friend of mine on Facebook is highly against.
She has a reason, of course. We all know St. Jude's treats children suffering from cancer and they state that they provide treatment regardless of ability to pay. Well, my friend's son had a fever of 106, and the closest hospital was St. Jude's. St Jude's found out my friend did not have insurance and refused to see her son. I mean really, come now. Don't advertise that you treat cancer patients regardless of ability to pay and insurance but then turn away a child with a life-threatening fever of 106 because they don't have insurance. It's not like they went in there asking for a fat burner pill. They went there for a legitimate medical reason! And were turned away!
Now I still support them for their cancer research but I can't help but wonder if there is more to my friend's story than what she told me about it.
