Once upon a time, industrialists like Ford understood the responsibility of being wealthy. Many became philanthropists, and their foundations and contributions continue to help fellow Americans many years after their passing. This article was refreshing given the self-serving greed exhibited by today's crop of self-serving tech bros.
Bing Jaing said it all. The Bill Ford family and others are what we need. Truly a family that can and does care about all of us. Very nice story, about a very good family! Thanks, Ms Howard for sharing the work of the Ford family, and that's inspiring.
I stood there watching it unfold. It was astonishing, really. Bill Ford was really trying to make a clean exit after speaking at a huge event under the hot sun. But he didn't hesitate. And, I swear to God, Bing was so darn happy afterward. A tiny moment meant so much.
Thank you for highlighting this philanthropic work — hopefully will inspire others!
It’s good to know there are people like Ford who has a humanitarian mission.

That little anecdote regarding Bing Jiang selfie is wonderfully telling, so thank you for including this at the end.

Bill Ford is a gem.
He isn’t a very good businessman but he is a great human being, and in the end, that’s all that counts
Wonderful!
