Short version: Mark realized a person needed help, even when those closest to that person didn’t realize. He went above & beyond to help that person, someone who he barely knew.

Note: cutting a check is easy. What’s hard, is to give someone non-monetary help. Because it means you have to actually be involved if it’s non-monetary. This was that type of help he gave.

I assume there's lots of private details you can't share, so I can't judge much. But fair, if that's true, it would be good.

It's not like rich people need to care about what I think, but I just argue that people should avoid glorifying them and believing claims that they want to help the world, as I've seen too many times that they are only interested in helping themselves. And the things I've seen Mark Cuban push for on Twitter are often pretty awful.
