The Secret Philanthropist

Where were you when George Michael died? I was at my aunt’s where we’d just said goodbye to my brother’s visit and put on the radio where it was announced. Like many, I only knew him as a successful singer that had something to do with AIDS. It’s a double tragedy that he died of something completely different. But if that doesn’t persuade you to help keep the faith, many of his actions will. A lot of the royalties of his songs often went to charities; as well as pledges for celebrity appearances on gameshows, even if he didn’t win anything. It just puts things into perspective. Sometimes people do things for a reason and sometimes they do it for a cause. But it’s a nice compromise when they don’t say anything about it until the moment they parted. But when someone has made an effort to make things easier then there’s got to be hope.
