Former NFL All-Pro Chad Johnson made an incredible gesture to one of his Twitter followers. The person sent Johnson screenshots of their checking and savings account and without solicitation Johnson prompted them to contact his manager that would then send them $1000.
We should hope to see more of this from the most affluent amongst us to lend a helping hand to those less fortunate during this time. Unemployment is at the highest in history, and millions of American’s financial situation is in complete dire straights. While the government has promised to provide a boost with a $1200 per person stimulus package, that is a far cry from the average American ‘s salary, thus creating insurmountable debts and the toughest of decisions to be made.
Kudos to Johnson for being on the frontline of the help that many of us need. Hopefully this example extends beyond Johnson and infects other millionaires to follow suit.
