Jennifer Garner’s recent visit to Perry County, Kentucky, has shed light on the stark difference between her genuine efforts to help flood victims and Meghan Markle’s questionable maneuver to claim credit for the same.
Over a year after the devastating floods that left the town in despair, Garner returned to express her heartfelt sympathy.
Governor Andy Beshear termed the flood as one of Kentucky’s most catastrophic deluges, which caused extensive damage, including the destruction of Robinson Elementary School.
During her visit, covered by the Today Show, Garner, a native of West Virginia, shared her deep connection with the affected students and the loss of their beloved school library.
She credited her own elementary school library for shaping her life and was moved by the scenes she witnessed.
Garner expressed, “It just takes my breath away.”
She acknowledged the profound loss experienced by the students and teachers and spent time with them, being inspired by their unwavering spirit.
In a heartwarming gesture, Garner surprised the students and teachers with a generous gift of over 500 books from Scholastic.
She also pledged to donate 5,000 books to the future libraries of both schools once they are rebuilt.
This act of kindness showcased Garner’s genuine commitment to making a difference in the lives of these resilient students.
However, it seems that Archwell, the organization led by Meghan and Harry, attempted to forge a partnership with Save the Children, the charity Garner has been affiliated with since 2014.
This approach mirrors their previous tactics with World Central Kitchen, where they would announce partnerships and attribute contributions to their own projects.
Such actions could mislead people into believing that Meghan and Harry were more involved in the charitable work than they actually were.
It is worth mentioning that Meghan allowed the Save with Stories initiative, spearheaded by Jennifer Garner, to use photos and videos of her and Archie for social media posts.
However, it is important to note that Meghan has not made any monetary contributions to this organization.
Therefore, it remains to be seen if Archwell will succeed in partnering with Save the Children, as Garner has proven herself capable of managing the initiative independently.
Critics argue that Harry and Meghan’s involvement in charity work primarily serves as a means of self-promotion to generate funds for their own foundation.
In fact, reports suggest that a significant portion, 95%, of the income generated from their charitable foundation is directed towards their personal accounts.
This raises questions about their true commitment to philanthropic endeavors and the allocation of funds.
Furthermore, there seems to be a lack of substantial partnerships with renowned organizations or apps related to mental health, despite Harry’s startup endeavors.
Collaborating with well-known entities such as Calm, Headspace, or BetterHelp could have solidified their dedication to mental health initiatives.
The absence of such partnerships leaves their brand vulnerable to scrutiny and may undermine their credibility in the eyes of the American public.
As the glittering titles and royal connections they once held begin to fade, it becomes evident that Jennifer Garner’s genuine efforts and commitment to helping others shine brighter than Meghan Markle’s questionable maneuvers.
Garner’s actions demonstrate her sincere dedication to making a positive impact, while Meghan and Harry’s approach raises doubts about their true intentions in the world of philanthropy.
