More lottery winners should follow the example of Kris Schoonmaker in California.
Schoonmaker recently got married to Allana, who is from the Philippines. In Allana’s home province, there are more than 15,000 children that are homeless and in need of medical aid. The first thing Schoonmaker plans to spend his new money on is to build an infirmary or some type of medical facility.
It is refreshing to hear that there is a lottery winner that is thinking of others first, rather than what kind of house to buy, how many cars go get, and how big of a diamond ring to put on his (or his new wife’s) finger. Nothing wrong with doing something for yourself as well, but we love to hear about some winners who are centered enough to know that they can change other people’s lives with their new wealth. Good job, Kris.
