On June 20th, Rick Ross visited the Fayette Care Clinic to deliver his donation and express his commitment to the cause. The clinic provides free health care services to individuals aged 18 and older in Fayette County, benefiting those in underserved areas without access to regular health care. This cause holds personal significance for the Miami rapper, as he shared in a live interview with WSB-TV news.
He stated, “Clinics like this mean a lot to me. I lost my father at an early age, and I felt like one of the reasons I lost him so early was because of his lack of health care.”
Representatives of Fayette Care Clinic, including executive director Geneva Weaver, expressed their gratitude for Rick Ross’s donation, revealing that it is the largest individual contribution they have received. The clinic heavily relies on donations, grants, and fundraisers for funding, and Ross’s intervention played a crucial role in keeping the clinic operational.
Rick Ross has clarified that he intends to continue supporting the clinic and helping out as much as possible. During his visit, he conveyed a sense of connection and community, stating, “I can see you as family, friends, and of course, neighbors.”
The “Aston Martin Music” artist’s donation has not only saved the clinic from closure but also served as a reminder of the importance of accessible health care for all.
Rick Ross isn’t just “saving” healthcare clinics; he’s also “saving” a particular celebrity’s career. In recent news, Rick Ross made a $4.2 million cash purchase of Meek Mill’s Atlanta mansion, following Meek’s pardon for past criminal charges. The sale marked a fresh start for Meek’s career.
NLE Choppa, another prominent rapper, has also recently demonstrated his philanthropy by donating money to repair a basketball court that was damaged by fireworks.
