She was good for a celeb but people overrate dolly as a person she's no Ms Rachel Basically Israel could've murdered all 2 million people in Gaza and there are people who wouldn't have said a word about it. One of those people was Dolly Parton so I think she's overrated as a good person and yes I realize no one else feels the same way today Look orange freddyg not everyone can be lucky like you and make a career out of grifting, pushing disinformation. And while you were doing that, Dolly Parton was actually doing something good for the world. He couldn't even wait one day to tell us a celebrated female singer's biggest flaws. Because she's no Ms Rachel. Would one of those flaws have been the 332,411,218 books gifted to kids so they could read? Dolly Parton's Imagination Library grew beyond Tennessee to cover the entire United States. In 2006, it spread to Canada, followed by the United Kingdom in 2007, Australia in 2013, and the Republic of Ireland in 2019. In 1986, she bought a theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and renamed it Dollywood. The park attracts Dolly acolytes from around the world and is also a major source of revenue for the region. The amusement park is Sevier County's largest employer according to a 2021 economic impact study, credited with creating more than 23,000 jobs and generating around $1.8 billion annually. By the way, like actually helps the local economy and the people who live nearby. The Dollywood Co. announced in February 2022 that it will cover 100% of tuition, fees and books for any employee who is furthering their education. And her company pays 100% of all the education costs if an employee wants to further their education. Two years after the opening of Dollywood, Parton launched the Dollywood Foundation, which initially sought to lower the high school dropout rate in her home county in Tennessee. She later expanded it to include the Buddy Program, in which Parton personally pledged to give $500 to fifth-grade and eighth-grade student if they stay in school. Don't forget all the help she's given to natural disaster victims. In 2016, when a deadly wildfire swept through the Smoky Mountains, she held an all-star telethon and set up a foundation that sent monthly checks to residents whose homes were damaged or destroyed. Parton and her Smoky Mountain businesses raised $700,000 to help residents impacted by the catastrophic flooding in Middle Tennessee in October 2021. Parton chose United Way of Henderson County to receive and distribute the funds at the suggestion of fellow country music legend. Following Hurricane Helene's devastation in the Southeast, Parton provided $1 million from her personal funds for the Mountain Way's Foundation, which provides assistance to flood victims. Her Dollywood businesses and the Dollywood Company pledged an additional $1 million, bringing the total to $2 million. In December of 2023, Parton donated $1 million to The Salvation Army, with the money allocated to food and grocery programs across the U.S. The organization said the gift would provide roughly 2.5 million meals to people in need. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, she personally stepped in to help fund the development of the Moderna vaccine and donated $1 million to coronavirus research at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Parton made yet another $1 million donation to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in June 2022, this time aimed at helping pediatric infectious disease research. Wow. If only she'd spent more time on the internet in the comment section on threads. She could have been a good person. Instead, she was one of a kind legend that we will never forget. You know what though? Let's let Dolly say some parting words.
