It's all well and good to give to these charities (I can't actually afford to, but I give to Fred's charity and the Red Cross) but if you're going to cure blindness once and for all, $5 Million isn't even going to cut it. Despite all the good work these charities do, they just can't get to everyone and the problem is only getting bigger each year. It's the governments that should be helping out here, not your average joe's. It might make you feel good giving out charity, but in the larger picture it doesn't amount to much. What the average person gives may seem a lot, but it's actually peanuts compared to the amount of money governments spend each year propping up the status quo.
