Good help

any rich people that want to make it through this will follow their example. Share or fight. This could have just been a pandemic but our precious entitlements have turned this into the collapse of our economy and these are only the choices that remain.

Thank you for donating and caring but covenant house has been tarred with abusers running it check your money

Ego's ego's ego's, what money can do to you.😟😖

This type of celebrity I can support, not mouthing off about how us normies should act, but rather using their resources to help out less fortunate people. Wish I could get the same press coverage for my monthly donation to the RSPCA though 😁

best celeb couple

That is what class is, give your movie star/ pro athlete money to 'help' other, not seek fame and attention by taking a Knee during national anthem to create hate!
