In the first screen shot of the 4 you posted, Shane claims that in the "almost 10 years" since LAMN was formed, they've given away over half a million $USD for adaptive equipment, etc. I have accessed LAMN's Form 990s from 2015 through 2020, and so they MAY have provided over half a million, but I think he's fudging that number. Unfortunately the 2015 form wasn't complete, but the totals from 2016 through 2020 were reported to have been distributed as follows:
2016: $28,136
2017: $31,154
2018: $64,096
2019: $66,232
2020: $55,048
2020 (the $100 cards): $86,900
Total: $331,566

Look at this quote from their "Our Programs" section on Guidestar.org:
"Since 2015, Laughing At My Nightmare has helped families who have a member affected by muscular dystrophy, with grants in the range of $500-$50,000. These grants have helped families obtain adaptive equipment such as van ramps, adjustable beds and technology. We look to help as many individuals as financially possible within a year."
So the 501(c)(3) MAY have been founded "almost" 10 years ago (2011 or 2012), but in their own words they only began distributing "grants" to families in 2015, so other than the amount distributed IN 2015, plus whatever they may have distributed in 2021, there's no way they've given out "over half a million $" in "almost 10 years" UNLESS 2021 has been a record-breaking year. Not saying it hasn't been, but even if they've hit $100,000 in 2021, they haven't distributed "over half a million $." Doesn't add up.
Now, it doesn't seem likely they were raking in a lot of contributions prior to 2016. You can see that the total increased annually. By the way, Guidestar reports they were granted 501(c)(3) status in 2013 (2021-2013 = 8 years, not "almost 10"), and whatever, if anything, they paid out in 2015, plus any distributions in 2021, I think it's fair to assume, haven't amounted to $169,000 in 2015 and to date in 2021. That's how much more they would have needed to report distributed to exceed a total of "over half a million $."
I agree with others that $30,000, when you're paying yourself and your cousin (as of 2020) over $106,000 in "compensation" (not to mention rolling around in your $2-million McMansion and dining (as someone said, Hannah dines, Shane watches), that you could stick a crowbar in your wallets and throw a portion of that back into the actual charity. You know, lead by example!
I love math!
