Michael's Charitable Contributions

[Ariel]

Thank you for the summary.
Media doesn't pay attention at these things. There are many people that are ambitious, but their achievements are no where close to MJs. They envy. On top of that MJ has done many good things. Now, the ambitious people are angry and would probably do anything to trash his name, so we hear stories how eccentric he was, etc. and nothing about charities.

[Love4MJ]

Michael's support of charities is unsurpassed. When I am able I like to contribute in honor of him.

May 22, 1992: Michael Jackson Pays for the Funeral of 9-Year-Old Victim of Gang Violence

[attachment=0:kvj1j2l7]screen_shot_2011_05_19_at_103812_pm.jpg[/attachment:kvj1j2l7]

In 1992, nine-year-old Ramon Sanchez was killed in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles when an errant bullet from a drive-by shooting struck the boy while drinking a glass of milk.
As local papers noted the tragedy, including the financial strain it would place on the boy’s struggling parents, help came in from the least expected source — the King of Pop.

According to District Attorney Mary Sutton, Jackson offered to pay for the full costs of the mortuary, funeral, and headstone just hours after reading that the Sanchez family would not have enough to pay for their son’s funeral.

“This is the first time I’ve ever had anyone contact me totally unsolicited,” said Sutton. “This man has a special quality about him and I hope his actions inspire others to do the same.”

The family of five, wanting to thank the singer, was taken to the Culver City set where Jackson was filming a commercial. Through an interpreter, they expressed their appreciation for the the pop icon’s kindness.

“Ramone was one of your biggest fans,” said the family. “You have helped make a very tragic time for us more bearable. Your involvement was a pleasant surprise and we are eternally grateful.”

Jackson, who had a long history of philanthropic efforts, gave away more than $300 million of his personal fortune during his lifetime.

LOVE YOU ALL!!!  bearhug

Michael you never stop to amaze me.
Maybe some of you know about this, maybe no,but I decided to put it here,because it prooves once more how BIG ,Michael's heart is.


September  1987- Michael Jackson dedicated his Bad Tour (Japan Leg) in memory of Yoshiaki Hagiwara.

Yoshiaki Hagiwara, a five year old boy, was kidnapped and murdered while Michael was touring in Japan <!-- s:( --><!-- s:( --> .

Michael heard about Yoshiaki before one of his concerts there, and made a comment about this incident during the performance:

"I am very sorry and deeply saddened to hear about Yoshiaki. If I could, I would like to rush to his parents to express my words of sympathy and pay tribute to Yoshiyaki. I would like to dedicate my Japanese tour to Yoshiyaki. Yoshiyaki, I know you’re out there watching us. I hope such a brutal and heartbreaking thing never happens again. And I love you."
-Michael Jackson

Michael also made a donation of $20,000 dollars to the grieving family.On the sleeve of this vinyl record is written:
“Dedicated to Yoshiaki Hagiwara
May such a terrible thing never happen again.
I will always love you. -Michael Jackson.”

Also noted:
“A Portion of Michael Jackson’s royalties from this record is donated to Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times, a camp for children with cancer.”


Right now I can't find the part of Bad tour where Michael makes the dedication,but I will put the video,soon .

i have to wonder when and possibly who started the making of public accouncements whenever michael made charitable donations.

[MissG]

Why are you refering to that passage, suspiciousmind?

[suspicious mind]

Why are you refering to that passage, suspiciousmind?

it just seems to me that there was a time when michael was on top of the world. the money and favor of God was flowing in as fast or faster than he could shovel it back out. that is the law of sowing and reaping. God's law. seed time and harvest. now you see in that passage that Jesus says don't be public about your giving. it is for men and their recognition I won't honor it ( me paraphrasing). now what i am wondering when did he start to have press converences ect. to announce that he was giving? let me just say that satan knows these laws just as well or better than most of us . and if he can get us to stray from what God wants us to do and how he wants us to behave he will do it . because there is something called a hedge of protection that God will lower when we begin to get out of his will. not because he is bad but because he knows when the hedge is down that satan will come against us and his(God) faith in us , is that we will come to him to deliver us. but the enemy ( satan ) is willing to take his chances that we wont turn to God for help.

i have no idea miss g ( gema) if i am making any sense to you or anyone else . i almost get the impression he went public with it in an effort to try to get some to ease up on him a little with his relationship to children. but i don't know if he started to be public about it after the rumors ect.

is probably just my thinking being way different than most.

[shamz]

That's how you know Michael was a sweet and kind person. I havn't seen a single piece of news on tv or in the tabloids about all this.
CHILD MOLESTER MY ASS!!!! 
Michael has been doing things that no celebrity will be able to do in their lifetime so give Michael a break and leave him alone!!!
