During my time as a teenager, especially after I started my first job, I would often try and donate toys to the underprivileged or to schools for the special needs. As I remember from my own childhood background, I had never received or have any new toy at all.
By seeing the smiles on the children’s faces when they received the gifts was such a rewarding feeling, with just small amount of my time could bring so much joy for them. Because of it, Icontinuedto donate or buy presents for them and other charities. Especially more when my business was at its peak, I have never stopped contributing to the local societies.
But as nothing lasts forever, my business kept suffering from deficit in 2009-2013, the IT company I founded began to make continuous loss. And at the same time,the charities that I used to contribute to, kept informing me of their latest events and asked me if I could help.It was difficult for me that I couldn’t do anything at all.
No matter how hard my situation was, I believed that we could still provide help in some ways. I then focused on donating used clothes, asking the celebrities I met to donate their fashion items that they used no more. Gathered all those items and sold it not only could easily raise up money for the charity, but also good to the environmental protection.
Because of this idea, I started establishing (www.CelebA.cn) and (www.CelebA.hk), holding bazaar sales and auctions by selling used clothes from celebrities. And with all kinds of support, I started up Celebrity Charity Fund (China) and Celebrity Charity Fund Association, to raise funds and provide help to any charity groups in need. And more importantly, my situation in doing charity would no longer be a concern.
