A Helping Hand Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer and her sister, Julia, co-founded this day for a nephew who they had lost from gun violence. Little Julian King was an innocent victim in a shooting, which also took the lives of Jennifer's brother and his wife. The virus didn't stop the sisters from making an annual donation in August 2020. They still delivered 2000 backpacks filled with school items for children in Chicago. They donned their masks and hit the schools.

You may be thinking it's a small donation, especially for someone as wealthy as a Grammy winner, but it took 17 people to coordinate the beautiful event that helped so many children that can't afford the things like, pencils and notebooks.

Thank you ladies for creating a beautiful and giving day and for keeping Hatch Day for 10 years strong!

Answer: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

I applaud the health care workers who have slaved day in and day out to care for those who are sick. They've been there through thick and thin. They've seen people struggle for breath and they watched people pass on. I for one would not want the job of dealing with people through the virus every single day. Dwayne offered just a small token, 7000 bottles of water, not a large sum, but it was something.

He worked with the Voss company to help distribute the bottles. He defined it as "our small way of letting you know how grateful we are for all your work...".

It's not about the cost, it's about doing something to help. Thank you to all the health care workers! I applaud you!
