Aaron Dworkin, founder of Detroit’s Sphinx organisation which engages minorities in classical music, was once a struggling music student, unable to pay his college debts. He sent an appeal to the actor, who responded with a $10,000 cheque. Later, Williams gave money to Sphinx and sent a blanket for Aaron’s baby. Lovely story by Mark Stryker here.

    Deeply touching. How we miss Robin Williams! May he rest in eternal peace. He gave so much for so long. We remain grateful.
