John and Laura Arnold Foundation-coupleA billionaire hedge fund manager has given $10 million of his own money through his foundation to pay for pre-school programs that would have shut down October 1 because of the U.S. Government shutdown.

Laura and John Arnold have tapped their personal fortune to reopen seven Head Start programs for one month to benefit 7000 children from poor families throughout six states.

“We believe that it is especially unfair that young children from underprivileged communities and working families pay the price for the legislature's collective failures,” the Arnolds said in a statement Monday

Thats great and cheering news.I wish we have two of his type around here where hundreds of orphan children go hungry daily.No thanks to terrorists that beheaded their parents inside the church

that's awesome

great to hear about people caring though,, even with the atrocities,, there is some ray of hope,,,,

Certainly,there is hope.We are doing our best with the very little resource at our disposal.The burden is overwhelming but we dont blow the trumpet about it
