An American content creator surprised the visually impaired by funding a collaborative effort to make a thousand people see again. Jimmy “Mr. Beast”24 years old, met with a thousand patients in a hospital in Jacksonville, Florida, USA.
Patients from Brazil, Jamaica, Honduras, Namibia, Mexico, Indonesia, Vietnam and Kenya. In addition, everyone who had the operation also won the amount of 10,000 US dollars, which is approximately 51,000 reais. One of the patients even earned US$50,000 (R$255,000) to pay for his college education.
The video about the action was published on the influencer’s channel and, of course, went viral: in just two days it gained more than 57 million views.
For this joint venture “Mr. Beast” enlisted the help of several professionals, including Jeff Levenson, an ophthalmologist and surgeon. The operations were carried out in Jacksonville, Florida, USA. Levenson is known for the program “The Gift of Sight”The Gift of Vision in Translation, in which he performed free surgeries on uninsured patients who were blind due to cataracts.
This is not the first time MrBeast has used his money for the benefit of other people.
The 24-year-old YouTuber is known for doing various things with a good heart, such as planting 20 million trees, completely cleaning up beaches, and now he has helped several people who were unable to see by returning the gift of sight to them.
Jimmy is now the most signed author in the world. He always makes videos showing how he can change some people’s lives and the scenes are always emotional.
