After we got news of 50 donating $100K to Autism Speaks, the Autism awareness organization releases a statement regarding 50’s donation and the overall problem.
“We thank Andrew Farrell and his family, who graciously turned an unfortunate situation into something positive. 50 Cent’s apology to Andrew and generous donation to Autism Speaks at the family’s request call attention to the deep hurt – intended or not – inflicted by snap judgments and social media bullying. Not every disability is visible, but it is easy to see a person’s humanity. This donation will support our mission to increase awareness and foster better understanding of the autism spectrum. Everyone, regardless of differences, deserves acceptance, compassion and respect.”
Still an unfortunate incident, but hopefully all is forgiven and 50 & Andrew Farrell can move forward.
