This post, Manuel, brightened my day. How I wish I had the funds to do something like that! The fact that there are people like them is inspiring and uplifting. Thank you for sharing something I would have never heard or seen elsewhere. It lacks fearmongering, so the news media is unintetested. I can just imagine the joy of hose graduates. Maybe some do not need it: I hope they will pass it on to those who do. The ones that really need the money, I wish them success so they might someday pay it forward. Great post. Gracias, Manuel!

Thank you, Manuel, for posting this piece. Rob and Karen Hale are the kind of down to earth heroes we need right now. I LOVE this process that they initiated. They are teaching these graduates how it feels to share the wealth in a way that is satisfying and real.

I also appreciate the generosity of the two "exes" from my neck of the woods: Melinda French Gates and Mackenzie Scott.
