The actor says, “We will identify people and hospitals across the country, who need help right now. I enjoy working with them and distributing materials to hospitals. This is just the beginning and we plan to do more. We want to help the right people. I sent for volunteers on social media and was very surprised that 300 people came to help us. I believe that people want to help others in any way they can. ”

‘Try To Get Vaccinated As Soon As Possible’
