The Game vows to give away $1 million to the poor
The Game has vowed to give away $1 million of his own money by Christmas (Dec13) to help those in need.
The Dreams hitmaker came up with the selfless plan on Tuesday morning (10Sep13) while on tour in Australia, and he has since started a new Instagram.com photo blog to document his acts of generosity, which he has branded "The Robin Hood Project".
On the page, The Game reveals that he has taken to handing out cash
to those he meets on his travels, and he has shared a series of
pictures of his generous moments online.
Explaining his motive for the charity drive, he writes, "The other
day I posted this pic of an African child I met in Australia
playing outside the grocery store. His story of his families (sic)
hardships + struggles to get away from the terror they left behind
touched me so I gave him what I had on me... Which was an
Australian $20 bill.
"As the days passed, I thought about him over + over + over + the
only thing that bothered me about that night was that I didn't have
more on me to give him at that time. For some reason I just didn't
bring more money from the hotel. Since I can't shake that
feeling... I have decided to give $1,000,000 to people I come in
contact with around the world everyday until Christmas.
"Don't even know if thats (sic) possible but I've set my heart on
trying!!! I've created a new account specifically for those who
would like to FOLLOW @therobinhoodproject + support me on this
journey."
The Game is known for his acts of kindness - he left a $6,000 tip
for a waiter after dining out on Easter Sunday (31Mar13).
