Genesis CEO Jan Langbein that she donations given cannot be disclosed, but enough to make a huge difference. "The gift from Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, is literally going to put a roof back over the heads of the moms and children of Genesis," Langbein said in an interview with The Dallas Morning News. "The thought of the literal meaning of that, and then the figurative meaning of that — that they care enough to put a roof over the heads of people who have none — just warms my heart."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stated last week that they will not return as members of the royal family, but their efforts for helping people in their name never goes unnoticed!
