Here is a perfect instance of using your wealth for what it is meant for, helping others who are not as privileged or well off as you. Bruno Mars did just that when he donated $1M to the Flint, Michigan water crisis. The singer urged Americans to \u201cnot forget our brothers and sisters affected by this disaster.\u201d He was appearing in a concert in Michigan when he made the announcement of his donation to support the victims of not having good clean water available to them and the cheers and applause from the crowd were deafening. \u201cYou guys showed me this much love and support tonight, I want to do something special,\u201d the singer said, interrupting a performance of his hit song \u201cJust the Way You Are.\u201d \u201cTonight I\u2019m going to donate $1 million to our brothers and sisters in Flint, Michigan.\u201d \u201cOngoing challenges remain years later for Flint residents, and it\u2019s important that we don\u2019t forget our brothers and sisters affected by this disaster,\u201d Mars said in a follow-up statement after the show. \u201cAs people, especially as Americans, we need to stand together to make sure something like this never happens in any community ever again.\u201d\t\t<\/p>\n
According to Rolling Stone, Mars donated the funds to the Community Foundation of Greater Flint, an organization that continues to assist victims and community members as Flint\u2019s water crisis, which began in 2014, drags on. Flint Mayor Karen Weaver said in March that it could be years before the water in the city is safe to drink again. Isaiah Oliver, president of the Community Foundation, expressed his gratitude to Mars for his \u201cinspiring donation.\u201d “With a grateful heart, the Community Foundation of Greater Flint is honored to accept this inspiring donation. We know Bruno Mars’ $1 million gift will be transformative to the children and families of Flint. He understands the issues faced by Flint citizens, and we are touched by his concern and generosity.” Mars is one of many celebrities who have donated to the Flint crisis. Others include Cher, Eminem, Mark Wahlberg and Puff Daddy. \t\t<\/p>\n
The Flint water crisis became public after officials finally acknowledged the city\u2019s water supply had been contaminated with lead and had poisoned local children. The ongoing investigation of who is directly responsible for the disaster still continues and several indictments have been issued. Both Michigan and the federal government declared a state of emergency as furious residents questioned just how much the government officials knew about the dangers of the drinking water and why they didn’t act sooner. \t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This Man-Made Disaster Is A Perfect Scenario Of Political Greed At The Expense Of The Poor <\/b> <\/p>\nSusan Z\u2019s Conclusion:\t<\/h2>\n
Bruno Mars donation shows what can be done with great wealth to set right an injustice. I am sure that many other contributors have made such generous donations as Mars but since he is so high profiled, his donation comes to the glaring light. Hope his generosity will spur others on to continue helping the people of Flint, Michigan.<\/p>\n
\tTwo of Cups: \t<\/b>
\nNew relationships being formed in good energy and love. This act of charity will definitely have an impact on contributions and others giving large amounts if not matching Mars. His generous donation also endeared him to many of his fans and some who did not even know who he was.\n\t<\/p>\n
\tThe High Priestess: \t<\/b> Inverted
\nBeing self-sufficient and sometimes feeling isolated and alone. Pulled inverted, this shows the energy of the people of Flint having lost their ability to have what every city in the US is entitled to, clean water to drink and also feeling they are left out there on their own to solve it.\n\t<\/p>\n
\t Five of Swords: <\/b> This is what I call the wuss card and being taken advantage of. This card so represents the energy behind the water scheme that led to this disaster. Being weak of character for profit and taking advantage of the very people that elected you to office.\n \t<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
