In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.

She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.

The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.

She handed out the checks herself.

In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.

When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.

You've probably heard that part.

Here's the part you haven't:

The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.

Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.

She built her county an entire hospital.

She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.

In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.

Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.

In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.

And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.

She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.

She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.

Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

🔊 NASA ordered ISS astronauts to shelter in a spacecraft after an air leak worsened, a rare order that has never led to an actual evacuation. Hear the latest on today's episode of Reuters World New https://t.co/W0JrIvKbYX

For the first time during the current war with Iran, the House passed a resolution June 3 that could eventually force President Donald Trump to step back from military attacks. But there's still a long way to go before congressional action can stop Trump from continuing the war. (via @PolitiFact)

@natiiebouzie Whenever somebody asks something along the lines of "what are they here for if we don't eat them?", just flip that nonsense back at them.

What are you here for if we don't eat you? What's your purpose if not to be my food?

@Lorenzi04539669 @GiorgiaMeloni Le preghiere lasciamole alla chiesa. A scuola I bambini vanno ad imparare, non a pregare.

@andst7 @elonmusk @GiorgiaMeloni Italian families cannot afford to have children. People can't even move out on their own before getting married and knowing there will be two streams of income to support the household. The cost of living in Italy, combined with the amount of taxes Italians pay, is high.

@MattWallace888 Two donations - $15 and $35. And so what if he did? Does he have to be a conservative judge in order to be impartial? 🤔
