@Rainmaker1973 And the story, sadly, doesn't end as this post implies. Plans shifted from treatment in the US to Barcelona, and Miłoszek later died. There's plenty about the US that disappoints me. Turning this story of generosity into an excuse to condemn the US misses its point entirely 2/2
@Rainmaker1973 A sad irony is being missed in these replies: Americans donated to a separate GoFundMe for Miłoszek, raising nearly $9,500 from 126 donations. This was never Poland vs. America. It was people in different countries trying to save a child they'd never met. (1/2)
@laurascala1369 As an American, I'm often disappointed by what I see in my country, but I'm continually reminded of the kindness of ordinary people. This story is one of those reminders. If your takeaway is "people are selfish," I think you've missed the point entirely.
