From Wedding Rings To Natural Disasters: Paul Walker’s Legacy Of Charity
was more than an actor who charmed audiences with his personable smile and brilliant blue eyes. The actor was also known for his philanthropic efforts because he loved to help people. Walker was a generous giver, often known for giving to random strangers and fans.
One story in particular is when Walker anonymously gifted a ring to a couple for their engagement. In 2013, Kyle Upham recalled how he was shopping for an engagement for his then-fiancee when the couple met Walker. Walker happened to be in the store with them, but the two were initially unaware of his star status.
Upham shared with Walker how he had just returned from being deployed to Iraq and was unable to get his fiancee a ring before he left, so they were now searching for one together. The couple had left the store without a ring but were shocked shortly after when one of the saleswomen chased them down in the parking lot.
“One of the ladies came out holding a bag and just simply said, ‘Here’s your ring,’ and I think both of our mouths dropped. And I think after a couple of minutes of shell shock, it finally sunk in, and we were like, ‘Well how? Who bought it?’ She just smiled at me and said it was better not to say,”Paul Walker’s charity wasn’t limited to anonymous gifts. ROWW is an organization of first-responders and various other professionals who help when natural disasters strike various areas.
Walker organized a relief team that helped respond to the disaster. During his time in Haiti, the actor saw the gap between the availability of needed resources and the demand for personnel in post-disaster situations, leading him to create ROWW to help bridge that gap. Walker worked with his organization in several incidents until his death in 2013.
