he makes $18M a year or something, and his foundation is going to help out with a few house payments? so he may lay out $15K in mortgages and furnishings? its the equivalent of a person who makes $50k a year donating $40.

if he bought her a house that would be something different, but this is a drop in the bucket for him.

Why should you give more money to someone than what he actually needs? With all the other money you can help other people who need the money even more. It's all about prioritizing.

I don't like Wade as a player but I can understand that you don't want to throw money around.

Shall we scream at people who drop their change in the bucket for the Salvation Army because they are giving a small percentage of their worth?

Effective charity is to teach a man to fish so that he may feed himself for a lifetime. As Arne pointed out, it is better to set someone up where they can succeed on their own.

The evil of a complete dole is present to be observed in many places.

Beyond such theory and nit picking, I am pleased to see Dwayne Wade doing something good in the community.

Joe Biden doesn't do that much...

Merry Christmas to you anyway. May you find someone to help in a meaningful fashion in your own life.
