This foreign born B+ list mostly movie actress is an Academy Award winner/nominee. She may or may not be married to her actor significant other. She does have kids. They had some fundraiser at their school and our actress didn’t want to sell whatever they had to sell and decided to give all the parents a break from hitting up people for money. Our actress just wrote a check for the amount the whole project would have raised.

They can afford it but a part of me is thinking she didn't want to do the cake sale/whatever because she's her and a star and the other moms are moms. Hope not though.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure what that teaches the kids, other than that their mom is a checkbook?
ReplyDeleteThey are NOT married. They were engaged years ago, went as far as planning the weeding and called it off at the last moment. They are messy and Liev is tough cookie to live with bit they managed to keep ti together for their boys. They love each other but Hollywood is a land of endless opportunities for men.
ReplyDeleteMy mom would've been thankful. It sounds more like a wrapping paper or magazine subscription fund raiser where kids go around the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I do too... I hate asking people to buy cookies and chocolates from my kids, so I write a check to buy a bunch, and when they come in give them out as gifts. I don't like people using kids to sell things.
ReplyDeleteShe did the lazy, easy thing. I wouldn't really classify that as a kindness. It was nice of her to do it for the full amount though. That she didn't have to do.
ReplyDeleteI think buying out her children's portion would have been lazy. Buying out the entire school was a kindness for sure.
ReplyDeleteAs a parent who has done a LOT of fundraisers this is +10000000 kindness. Not lazy at all. If I had the $ I'd do it for every fundraiser.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you. I'm a parent as well and I would have been thrilled, the constant fundraisers gets old. It became a kindness when she paid for the entire project so the other parents didn't have to do it.
ReplyDeleteAs a Brit would someone explain what a fundraiser entails for a school? Do you have to pay to go to school? Is it a... um... local authority thing where something needs to be repaired etc please excuse my ignorance it just seems to be a lot of these fundraiser blinds for celebs (naomi\reese)who I assume send their children to private schools where tuition is paid. I don't understand.
ReplyDeleteHey, it's another case of a spy posting a "kind" about themselves. C'mon enty!
ReplyDeleteA fundraiser is usually held by a school, church, community or group to help raise funds for a special project.
ReplyDeleteThose projects are things like new sports, band or cheerleader uniforms; class trips to a special event or big city or foreign country; new computers; supplies or materials for special projects that are not covered by the school tuition. And yes, sometimes repairs on a building that the budget doesn't have the money for.
Here in Alabama I've seen them have fundraisers to help families in the community who suffer a hardship due to an illness, accident or families who have lost everything due to a fire or tornado.
It does get old at times but it's always good to help others if you can as you never know you might be the one needing help one day.
As a parent myself, I can also confirm this as a kindness. Fundraising is the worst and most parents work and don't have time to manage the process of your kids hitting up your friends.
