Chapter 1880
Joanna stood in front of people, with a huge screen behind her.

The lights in the hall dimmed and pictures appeared on the screen as she began to explain the purpose of her charitable foundation.

"I'm from the military, my husband is from the military, we're both military."

"We know better than anyone else that this is a special group."

"Many people don't know us and them. In fact, this group is far from what people know about them."

"Soldiers are human too, they get scared, they get hurt, and they need help!"

"That's why it was established!"

"In order for us to enjoy a good life in the Commonwealth, these sergeants went to a strange land and fought against a group of vicious enemies."

"There's very little we can do for them, but there's a lot..."

She gave some examples.

The picture on the screen changed. On the bustling street, a man who had lost his legs sat on a newspaper by the side of the road.

He was shivering in the cold in a dirty knitted hat and a lady's overcoat.

He looked about 30 years old, and he was in a mess. His beard hadn't been washed, and some of it had clumped together.

In front of him was a cardboard with the words "Please show kindness, I need help" written on it, and a small tin box next to it.

The tin box used to hold biscuits, the paint on the outside has been damaged.

"He's only 21."

People's eyes focused on Joanna again, and she narrated a tragic story in a very flat tone.

"He used to be a member of the Union Army, but he lost his legs due to shelling on the Amerian battlefield."

"The doctors tried everything they could to get him back from death."

"Because of serious injuries, he left the army and returned home."

"Because of lack of money, his father was distracted at work and died unexpectedly."

"And his father, because of successive blows, chose to commit suicide one night."

"The factory paid 8000 yuan in compensation, and there is not much left of the money after less than a year."

"Now his only income is begging, and he also needs to bear the medical expenses that he can hardly afford!"

The flat voice made people feel speechless.

Joanna shook her head, "I'm not blaming anyone. In fact, the military has also given a proper solution. They bear all the medical expenses."

"But there are always costs that are outside the military's footing, and they're not cheap."

"He didn't dare to spend any penny, because he didn't have a penny of income!"

"This shouldn't be happening!"

Then they changed faces and started to switch again, constantly switching, one by one young faces who were roughly the same but had different miserable lives constantly refreshed people's cognition of these groups.

The eyes of every young man are empty and dull. What they have lost is not only hope for life, but also hope for the Federation!
"That's my purpose, I'm not a savior, I can't save everyone."

"But I hope that you, more people, can stand with me and use our power to change their lives and the lives of more people who need our help."

Joanna's emotion is in place, "They have paid so much for us, they shouldn't be like this..."

Next is her charitable rescue plan, which is what charitable foundations must tell donors.

Private equity funds can not disclose their financial situation to the public, and do not tell everyone where the money is used, but they must tell the donors.

Where and how the donor's money will be used, what is the plan for using it, and some follow-up things.

In Joanna's plan, assistance operations are divided into three levels.

The first level requires all-round help. They need money, medical care, and a living environment that is more like a large group.

The second is that they need work and money. They may be facing difficulties or are unemployed. After the foundation is established, it will help them overcome this difficulty and find jobs for them.

The third level is also the most special. This group of people needs more professional psychological medical treatment methods, and they are facing mental illness.

Ordinary families look down on psychologists, so the foundation will help them solve these problems, arrange regular psychological counseling, and regularly observe their mental health problems.

In addition, there are some more detailed content, just a simple text description, and the details will be shown in a plan.

In addition to these, Joanna announced to everyone the operation of funds in the foundation.

30.00% of the donations will be directly used to help all eligible rescue objects and establish relevant subordinate branches.

70.00% of the remaining 50.00% will be used for business investment.

The fees earned from these investments will be rolled into the foundation's account.

The other 20.00% is used for the foundation's daily expenses, such as staff salaries, adding some equipment, holding some temporary activities and the like.

The whole process is not necessarily very professional, but it definitely makes things clear.

When the brightness of the lights slowly increased, Joanna also breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced at the former president's wife sitting in the first row, smiled and expressed some gratitude.

She helped Joanna do these things, she has a lot of experience and knows how to do it.

Then Joanna glanced at the doctor sitting in the back row near the middle of the aisle, but quickly looked away.

As the wife of the former president was the first to stand up and donate 5 yuan, the fundraising has officially begun.

Every guest, or every pair of guests, generously stuffed the prepared money into the donation box—all checks!
The 5 yuan given by the former president's wife was a measure of a bottom-line nature. Even if the people behind are unwilling, they can't be less than 5 yuan.

It can be equal, but not less than this.

Except for a few people, basically everyone donated more than [-] yuan.

Some capitalists donated [-] yuan.

The military industry group donated more, at least 100 million.

Whether it is veterans, disabled soldiers, Mr. President and the current military, they are the biggest customers of military industrial groups!

They don't donate money to please the military group. If they can please the military group with a donation of 100 million, then the military group is definitely not promising and has no ability.

The purpose of donating money is just to tell the people in the military group that we have also contributed love, so don't trouble us!

Seeing that Lynch was about to arrive, Landa, who was sitting next to him, also took out a check book from the small purse, and wrote 5 yuan on it with some pain.

This 5 yuan is really not a small sum for her.

What made her a little dissatisfied was that Joanna never told her that at least [-] yuan must be donated!
Otherwise she wouldn't have come at all.

On the other hand, Lynch casually took out the checkbook and wrote 500 million on it.

It's not that he wants to be more high-profile than others, it's just that he just got a multi-billion military project from the federal government and the military.

If others donate 100 million, he also donates 100 million. Although in principle he has nothing wrong with it, it is his freedom to donate more or less.

But there will always be some people who feel... some dissatisfaction.

When making money, hundreds of millions or billions will be moved home, and when it is time to pay, one million and one million will be squeezed out.

Even if others don't say anything, they will feel that Lynch's actions are not right.

Everyone is jealous, jealous of other people's good looks, jealous of others' wealth, no one is an exception.

Don't give these people a chance to be jealous, the 500 million will play a much bigger role than imagined.

Lynch then took the stage after Landa Meats donated $5 on behalf of feminist groups.

Someone will take pictures, which is the most common method of the Foundation.

When they solicit donations, they will invite someone who they think is likely to donate money to come and sit with the foundation.

What will this potentially wavering person think when the walls are covered with photos of celebrity donations?
Lynch even donated 500 million, so [-] won't be too little, right?
Lynch handed the check to Joanna. He was actually quite familiar with Joanna. Before Mr. Truman won the election and became president, he visited several times.

They also had dinner together, and Lynch was quite impressed with her cooking skills.

"Great theme and cast, we really can't do enough with this, hope my money can do something for them."

The flashes flashed indiscriminately, and some people were recording them.

"Don't let our heroes shed blood and tears, they deserve our respect and love!"

Joanna's eyes lit up all of a sudden, it's just a simple sentence, but it reveals a very profound connotation, which will become one of the key words of the foundation's appeal for donations!

She nodded her head vigorously, "Yes, I will do that, and this is what we are working on together."

Then she smiled tactfully, let go of her hand, faced the meeting site, and looked down at the numbers.

For two seconds, she looked back at Lynch, her face full of surprise and doubt.

Is it... I wrote an extra zero.

Lynch kept smiling all the time, but his clever eyes told Joanna that he was not mistaken.

Joanna looked at everyone in disbelief, "Oh my God, Mr. Lynch donated 500 million to those sergeants who need our help!"

With a bang, people immediately started applauding!
There are many people sitting here, more than half of them, their total net worth is less than 500 million, but it is such a frighteningly huge sum, and Lynch donated it as soon as he said it.

Soon people remembered the news that he had eaten billions of debts. He was really rich, so fucking rich!

Whether you like him or not, you must stand up at this time and applaud that 500 million and its owner!
