Zelda Williams, daughter of the legendary Robin Williams, recently shared a heartwarming story about her father’s dedication to helping those in need. Speaking at the Comic Relief Live event in New York City, Zelda revealed how Robin’s generosity extended far beyond his comedy and acting.
“My dad, on all of his projects and especially when he was on tour, would hire homeless people,” Zelda shared. “He would actively give them jobs.”
This act of kindness wasn’t just a one-off gesture—it was a commitment Robin made throughout his career. Zelda emphasized how hiring even one person could create a ripple effect, potentially changing lives for generations.
Robin’s compassion for the homeless was well-documented. In 1990, he testified before the U.S. Senate, advocating for homelessness prevention by focusing on keeping people in their homes rather than providing short-term fixes.
At Comic Relief Live, Zelda carried her father’s torch, encouraging others in the entertainment industry—and beyond—to make small but meaningful contributions toward positive change.
Comic Relief, an organization dedicated to preventing homelessness, has raised over $436 million to date, transforming millions of lives. Zelda’s heartfelt speech reminded us all that individual actions, like her father’s, can create lasting change.
Robin Williams’ legacy lives on, not just through his unforgettable performances but also through his profound impact on the lives of those he helped.
What small steps can we take to make a difference in someone’s life today?
