I'd say "So what?"  25,000 kids die each and every day on this planet, and
your "plan" won't save even one of them. Why? Because raising money is the
smallest and easiest step in the entire process of saving those kids.
Converting that cash into food, medicine, housing, and making sure it's all
spent on those items, and then delivering the goods to their destinations
(once you have actually determined the destinations!). And assuming all
these things happened, then what? Your "plan" won't rid the world of
disease, droughts, floods, earthquakes, corrupt dictatorships,
ethnic/religious/tribal conflicts, unwanted/unneeded pregnancies, and on and
on. Your plan won't prevent the Nile river from becoming unusable for
farming and drinking purposes within 20 years, a river that in Egypt alone,
78M people depend on for sustenance. You had a nice dream, now forget it and
stop wasting our time with your spam.
