| | |  Dan Radcliffe gives major donation to The Trevor Project
Actor Daniel Radcliffe recently made a large and generous donation to the Trevor Project helpline, which helps provide aid to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth who are suffering through crisis and suicide issues.
Dan's reason behind the donation is quoted in the above-linked press release: Quote:
"I am very pleased to begin my support of The Trevor Project, which saves lives every day through its critical work," said Daniel Radcliffe. "It's extremely distressing to consider that in 2009 suicide is a top three killer of young people, and it's truly devastating to learn that LGBTQ youth are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers.
I deeply hope my support can raise the organization's visibility so even more despondent youth become aware of The Trevor Helpline's highly trained counselors and Trevor's many other resources. It's vitally important that young people understand they are not alone and, perhaps even more important, that their young lives have real value."
Quote:
"We're incredibly grateful to Daniel for his truly inspiring and historic generosity and support," said Charles Robbins, executive director and chief executive officer, The Trevor Project. "He is setting a meaningful example for millions of young people around the world by embracing diversity and demonstrating that he cares deeply about the well-being of LGBTQ youth."
The amount Dan donated is currently undisclosed. Dan plans to take other steps in the future to further boost the project's profile.  | |

his money ..... his decisions on which charities he chooses. I think that is admirable of him (or any young actor who is rolling in cash) to make well-thought out contributions...

That's sweet Can you take a screengrab or describe which one it is, so we can try to remove it? Quote:
Although I don't entirely support homosexuals, I think it is a great thing he is doing.
That's nice for you, but it's not really relevant. The point is, Dan does and he's showed his support by donating a vast sum of money. Can we keep the comments on that, rather than get personal feelings involved? That road leads to confrontation and offence being taken, on both sides.

I think he is amazing for doing this, he could easily not bother at all but with this he is not only helping by donating money and time he is also drawing attention to the organisation too.
in short
GOOD ON HIM

Hey it's good that their trying to help youth in these situations, but if I were him I would've given my money to dying children in Africa or something like that. But that's just me.
