While working on a movie with kids, this A list mostly movie actor who only gets to be A list when in his franchise or an action movie met with some families of special needs children. The families had been visiting the set and consisted of families mainly with children who have Down's Syndrome. Our actor was so touched by the families he met that he visited one of the centers that was training teens to become productive adults and that had job training and how to live on your own and just preparing them to be adults with Down's Syndrome. Over the past decade our actor has funneled millions of dollars towards the center through his own donations and those of cast members. he makes sure all of the families and attendees visit his sets and go to the premieres. He has basically been a one man provider of funding for two centers who would not be open with the kind of services they offer if not for our actor. At one point during the peak of the recession he was what was keeping them open.

ReplyDeleteAs a single Mom myself to a wonderful 24-year-old son with Down Syndrome, I find this "kindness" posting about Vin Diesel absolutely wonderful!!! Kudos to him!!! That is superb!!! It is EXTREMELY challenging to get them ANY kind of meaningful employment, especially since they have just changed many laws. It's very frustrating for a parent.....seems like everywhere you turn someone puts up a wall......ugh......I hate it.......
ReplyDeleteDerek only gets Teen Mom blinds cause hes a FAGGOT
ReplyDeleteAlways knew he was a big softy at heart! What a great commitment to make for so long!
ReplyDeleteThat basement air is getting to you, boni, you should try to get outside once in a while.
ReplyDeleteAwww! I never liked Vin Diesel till now. I guess I'll have to systematically start going to his movies now. Nice guys are so rare.
ReplyDeleteThat's really wonderful of Vin Diesel and I have newfound respect for him.
ReplyDeleteAs for "boni", the world has enough internet gangsters. (I've read Derek's posts speaking much better about much worse so may you take your bigotry, eat your words, and have anal leakage with flaming anus for days.)
Bigots are such ignorant pricks.
