hi all, what charities / other things do you recommend leaving money to in a will?

    Enough of the suggestions appear to be good; I’m going to say one that I don’t think has been mentioned yet - - St. Jude. They help kids with cancer & their families, so they can get treatment without paying anything out of pocket. And I mean ANYTHING.

    Families with young kids tend to be on the poor side. Cancer hits them like a ton of bricks; they can’t afford this expense. St. Jude pays for transport, puts the family up while they treat the children. So much money is given to the kids & their families.

    It’s not all altruism & butterflies, though! It’s also just…fucking smart & helping to refine modern medicine. Millions of USD goes into R&D, working to treat & cure cancer, in kids. Hopefully creating tech, methods that benefit us ALL. There is no downside to donating to St. Jude.
