So would a lot of people.  It's how I learned of Boys Town and why I
was sent there by my aunt.  The whole family, being  to a large part
Irish, were regular contributors to Boys Town.  What is interesting is
that after my aunt shipped me off to BT, she stopped contributing and
pleaded poverty whenever Boys Town would ask her for money to help
with my support.

Boys Town has had it's share of scandals, including a few regarding
their use of contributions.  Sometime in the sixties or seventies,
they were nailed to the wall media-wise for using contributions to
equip the priests and counselors with expensive cars and twice a year
world cruises and that doesn't even count the "retreats" many of the
priests took at renowned resorts around the globe.   We also had nuns
at Boys Town but we seldom saw them because they were the personal
servants of the priests.
