Answer by fragglerockqueen
Honestly? I think the best donation you can give is to your friend’s brother. Insurance only covers so much – he will have a lot of financial responsibility to receive chemo and go through surgery. Otherwise, if you are looking to donate to a charity, anything that has to do with children since they are our future would be the most logical and have the largest impact (ie – children with luekemia).
