Stollery Children's Hospital - Fish Tank Campaign

Wow.... Really never could I imagine such negativity from a group. Holy sad how negative this is going, my god if you can't say good things don't bother. It's not up for discussion on what or how- READ- its a post simply pointing out what they are trying to accomplish and it's a good goal!

My kids have spent time there and after telling them the idea of someone trying to raise funds for a huge reef tank they lit right up. "Dad all kids would love to see it, I'll bet even parents would enjoy it too!"

My goodness....

The feedback about maintenance and longterm followup is fair and I'd suspect something that the fundraising team is searching for. The negativity regarding the merits of the project, not so much.

sounds to me like you have an opinion, and it's simply different than others. No negativity here, just some reality. The project will do whatever it wants, but I, just like you, am entitled to an opinion. And if he's going to post it here looking for help, it's become a public topic and everyone gets their say. Because you may not agree with my side does not make it negative. It's just fact that hospitals do not have enough equipment, supplies and staff, and throwing in a 50k fish tank is a complete waste of money. My opinion.
