36. Life in the Pandemic

The pandemic’s unexpected arrival posed a formidable challenge for people worldwide, especially for celebrities accustomed to globetrotting.

George and Amal found themselves hunkering down in their Los Angeles abode during those trying times. Far from simply idling away, they embarked on a mission to make a difference by channeling their resources to aid relief efforts. Their generous donation of $1,000,000 to various charitable causes served a dual purpose: not only did it contribute to the greater relief efforts, but it was also a proactive measure to safeguard their young son, Alexander, who battled asthma.
