Chapter 749: charity organization

The Sanatorium of St. Florence is located in Venice, the satellite city of Los Angeles.
　　
　　 Ronan drove to the St. Florence Nursing Home, and met Tom Cruise, who had been in contact for a long time, at the door. The two brought a few media reporters.
　　
　　 St. Florence Nursing Home mainly treats patients with frostbite. Ronan and Tom Cruise came here this time to prepare for charity.
　　
　　 As for media reporters, that is a must-have for celebrity charity.
　　
　　In Ronan’s understanding, purposeful charity is also charity, which is better than doing nothing.
　　
　　 And if there is a purpose, there is motivation, and people or companies can often make persistent investments.
　　
　　For example, Leonardo DiCaprio has maintained environmental protection for more than two decades, and has been promoting environmental protection in various ways.
　　
　　 This can be said to be a typical charity with a purpose. In the past several forest fires, Leonardo's charitable foundation has made large donations.
　　
　　 I don’t know how many times he did it compared to those who abused him for show through the Internet.
　　
　　 Tom Cruise, wearing a fitted suit, first shook hands with Ronan, then beckoned to the media reporter, and walked in with the person in charge of the St. Florence Nursing Home.
　　
　　 "We currently have more than 100 patients with frostbite."
　　
As he walked toward the ward building, the middle-aged male person in charge introduced Ronan and Tom Cruise to the basic situation of the Sanatorium of St. Florence: "The sanatorium is a semi-public welfare and only charges very low fees to patients The main source of funds is social donations."
　　
　　 Ronan said with a smile: "Mr. Colt, your love has helped many people. Please allow me to pay tribute to you."
　　
　　 Tom Cruise felt that he was snatched by Ronan and said: "In the past, the society and the public ignored the group of patients with frostbite. Ronan and I came here today to help you."
　　
　　 "Thank you." John Colt said hurriedly: "Thank you for your kind deeds."
　　
　　 This is not the first time someone has come to a nursing home to donate. Whether or not they have a different purpose, John Colt welcomes them, because the money and materials donated by these people can effectively help the patients lying in the hospital bed.
　　
　　 What's more, today’s situation is unusual, and I might be able to absorb more donations later, and completely improve the treatment environment in the nursing home.
　　
　　 John Colt looked back at the reporters and videographers who followed him. This was not there in the past.
　　
　　 He knows the two people who came here today, even if they don’t, he has heard of them in the media.
　　
　　 Tom Cruise Needless to say, one of the world's top movie stars not only has a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, but also attracts media and public attention for every move.
　　
This is the first time Ronan Anderson has met, but there have been many reports in the media. Hollywood’s super-rich is said to be worth billions of dollars. In the new Vanity Fair magazine this month, Ronan Anderson ranked The first place in Hollywood power list last year!
　　
　　 The propaganda effect that these two characters can bring far exceeds their own donations.
　　
　　 Some staff members of the nursing home stood in front of the ward building to greet Ronan and Tom Cruise.
　　
　　 Ronan asked, "It won't delay normal work, right?"
　　
　　 John Colt said: "No, they are not on duty."
　　
　　 "That's good." Tom Cruise said: "We came here to help, not to cause trouble."
　　
　　 John Colt is also welcome: "We have always been looking forward to having important people like you come, so that the group of patients with frostbite will attract more attention."
　　
　　Tom Cruise said solemnly: "Me and Ronan will call for the attention of the world."
　　
　　 Under the introduction of John Colt, Tom Cruise and Ronan shook hands with the staff who came to greet them one by one, and said a few words of encouragement.
　　
　　 A few reporters followed, reminding the cameraman to quickly take all these photos.
　　
　　 This is a show, a super charity show in which Tom Cruise plays the leading role, and St. Florence Sanatorium is just the beginning.
　　
　　 Then, a group of people entered the ward building and visited patients with frostbite syndrome on the spot.
　　
　　 Ronan also made people prepare gifts, some relatively warm and inspiring movie DVDs owned by Relativity Entertainment.
　　
　　 These are for the individual patients.
　　
　　 Tom Cruise prepared the same movie DVD, but his personal work.
　　
　　 St. Florence Nursing Home basically treats patients with severe frost syndrome. Most people cannot take care of themselves and need to stay in bed all year round.
　　
　　 This man has normal intelligence, but he has to experience a cruel imprisonment game where he witnesses his life slowly being lost.
　　
　　 There are some things that you can't imagine when you don't look at them, but they touch people's hearts after seeing them.
　　
　　 When Ronan saw a 17-year-old girl not only unable to move, but also unable to speak, he was really moved.
　　
　　 Many times, human life is really fragile.
　　
　　 Tom Cruise gently hugged the girl's mother, but didn't know what to say.
　　
　　 Even Ronan, who has always been able to pull out countless reasons anytime, anywhere, can't speak at this moment.
　　
　　Comfort, how to comfort?
　　
　　 Sympathy can only be expressed in the form of money.
　　
　　 This is one of the five terminal diseases specifically listed by the World Health Organization. It is as famous as cancer, AIDS, leukemia, and rheumatoid disease!
　　
　　 Ronan remembered, as if Stephen Hawking was suffering from this disease.
　　
　　 "Shocking!"
　　
　　Walking out of the ward, Ronan whispered: "I saw them, and I realized how happy we are."
　　
　　 Tom Cruise is no longer as relaxed as when he first arrived, his face is full of heavy: "Thank you, Ronan."
　　
　　 Ronan was inexplicable: "What's wrong?"
　　
"Thank you for reminding me and let me visit them." Tom Cruise didn't seem to be joking, and said in a voice that two people could only hear: "I didn't take your plan too seriously before, I just wanted to This is to help you, but when I saw all this, I realized that this plan is very necessary!"
　　
　　 Ronan lightly patted Tom Cruise on the arm: "If you want to say that, I'm ashamed, because I didn't think about it at first..."
　　
　　 Tom Cruise said seriously: "No matter what the original purpose is, Ronan, your plan can actually help them."
　　
　　 "I hope I can help them." Ronan sighed lightly.
　　
　　Any normal person will be touched when he sees this place. Ronan is no exception, but he also knows that he does not understand medicine and is not a god. He can't solve their illnesses and can only help them with money.
　　
　　 No matter what the original plan was for, he really intends to do something, nothing else, but please feel at ease.
　　
　　 "Mr. Cruise, Mr. Anderson." John Colt came over at this moment: "Shall we go to see other places?"
　　
　　Tom Cruise glanced at Ronan, and saw Ronan nodded slightly and said, "No, let's not disturb them anymore. Mr. Colt, can we find a room for a chat?"
　　
　　 John Colt said immediately, "Of course."
　　
　　 He quickly took Ronan and Tom Cruise into a staff lounge, temporarily isolating the media reporters outside.
　　
　　 "Mr. Colt." Tom Cruise leaned back in a chair: "The situation is more serious than we thought."
　　
　　 Ronan did not speak. Compared to him, Tom Cruise is the protagonist.
　　
John Colt smiled, with a bitter smile on his face: "This world is too cruel to them. The whole person is imprisoned in a container that fits perfectly with the body, including the face, lips, each finger, each The toes are tightly attached to the container. In the container, you can hear and see everything that is happening outside the container. There is enough time to think or watch TV, but there is no way to speak or make any noises to take care of them. People carry them around, feed them and change clothes, but don't know what they are thinking."
　　
　　 Ronan and Tom Cruise didn't interrupt, they just listened.
　　
John Colt’s words are full of pain: "Perhaps, when people are trapped in the game container at first, they are strange and funny. Later, they will feel too cold for a while and too hot for a while. Seeing and hearing their family members lament their sad fate. Later, family and friends came to see them less and less often. People who looked after them sometimes forgot to turn on the TV. They always felt thirsty, itchy, lonely, and panicked. , Want to end everything as soon as possible, but they can only face it, can't do anything, just wait for death..."
　　
　　 The whole body is uncontrollable, unable to move, unable to speak, and finally unable to swallow and breathe spontaneously, watching his body gradually being swallowed by disease.
　　
　　 This feeling is more than terrible.
　　
　　 Not everyone is Stephen Hawking.
　　
　　 Besides, Hawking’s pain is only understood by him.
　　
　　 John Colt added: "This group is very painful, but neglected~EbookFREE.me~ I hope they can enter the vision of more people and attract the attention of the audience. They need the help of the whole society."
　　
　　 Tom Cruise thought for a while and said, "Mr. Colt, I personally will donate $1 million to the St. Florence Nursing Home."
　　
　　 "I also donated 1 million US dollars." Ronan echoed.
　　
　　 The money is not too much, but charitable donations pay attention to the long flow.
　　
　　 "Thank you." John Colt said quickly, "Thank you for your kind deeds."
　　
　　 "What do you think?" Tom Cruise asked Ronan.
　　
　　 "Tom." Ronan said, "Just do what you want, and I will fully support you."
　　
　　John Colt is a little strange, what do these two want to do? I don't understand at all.
　　
　　 doesn’t need him to understand, Tom Cruise said directly:
Mr. Colt, I am going to set up a charity foundation with Mr. Anderson specifically for patients with frostbite. This was planned before we came over.

　　
　　 "Great!" John Colt knew it was very difficult: "I thank you for all the patients in the St. Florence Nursing Home."
　　
　　 Tom Cruise added: "Individuals have always limited power. They need to attract the attention of the whole society. I am going to hold a press conference for the establishment of the charity foundation and I need to invite you to participate."
　　
　　 John Colt responded, "No problem!"
