The backlash raises questions about whether wealth influences altruism. Experts say research on social class and compassion is mixed. Jenner did not direct her fans to a cause, but to an individual who she was more than financially capable of supporting. I don't know how all of this got so twisted but his family has reached out through Ariel and are very appreciative." it compelled me to visit his gofundme which was set at 10K."
