Thanks, LoveJunky. This is such an important part of who Prince was.
I was thinking about all the anonymous individuals who were helped too like this woman in Boston described in the HQ article: From Jill Willis, Prince's former publicist: "The middle-of-the-night calls from Prince were a consistent reality. Two, three, four in the morning—having the phone ring was not uncommon. And if you didn't answer, he'd call back. Or call someone to call you to say that Prince was trying to reach you. "Got a pen?" was the way many of those conversations started. A not untypical story: being awoken at three-ish in the morning on a weeknight. "Um, got a pen?" "Not under my pillow. I'll be right back. Okay, I'm back. What's up?" "I'm not sure which morning show it was, but one of them was doing a story on this woman—I think she was in Boston. Somewhere in Massachusetts. She has spent most of the past 10 years trying to save money to buy a building for feeding homeless people, and she's found a building but doesn't have enough money. I want to find her and give her the money." "Okay. Did you catch her name?" "No." "Okay. We'll find her." "Let me know. Thank you." Here's a link to the article. It's the first story at the top of the page: http://www.gq.com/about/prince [Edited 12/15/16 7:49am] | |

I dont know....this would of course have been the Perfect way to distribute his posthumous income..and something Im sure would have ran in his mind at some time... Maybe he wasnt planning on leaving us so soon ?
Meanwhile......

Makes me think about all the charities and causes that depended on his generosity. All the more reason to pay it forward whenever we can. Brand new boogie without the hero. | |

He was also grossly taken advantage of by numerous "charitable causes" and their many solicitors, which is quite sad and not something to be swept under the carpet in this reflective time either.

That would not be his fault but there's. Since when is giving bad. If what you say is correct this is the charity fault and not Princes. He was trying to help. We should all help each other without any worries or expectations. That is how it should be. | |

Lest we forget, His Generosity and Giving was a constant,something that he was doing even in the earlier years....
and this:
(1984) In a surprise, free performance at Gallaudet College, Prince, the rock star, dazzled and thrilled about 2,500 handicapped students from the campus and the city’s public schools yesterday afternoon. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/04/22/the-time-prince-gave-a-free-concert-at-a-college-for-deaf-students/?utm_term=.31dbd826f9d7

Prince was such a loving, warm, caring, kind & generous man. He would always help other's without giving it a second thought. He cared about people; he cared about the world. Thank God we had Prince in our world, if only for a short time. He sure made it all worth our while.
