This is what life should be about, this is what news should be about! Just considering the beauty of this act and the insistence of the donor remaining anonymous.
Today is "Random acts of kindness day", and what a wonderful act of kindness this truly is. For this person you can't help but know that this gift cost them something to give this act of kindness, and following the biblical stance on giving:
"But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. Matthew 6:3-4 (NASB)
It isn't done this way so that the Father God will reward you. Of coarse if you have ever given anonymously and stood back and watched the good that comes from it. You will know that it is quite hard to imagine any better reward than that. But the icing on the cake so to speak, is that our Father in Heaven does reward us.
From this article you should be amazed at how everyone automatically excepts the giver's anonymity. Being a donation of 100M, you would think people would be freaking out just to find out what kind of insane person would do such a thing.
That isn't the attitude of today's social thinking. But amazing as it is, these people except the circumstances in which the money is given, with thanksgiving and honor and tears of joy. It has the makings of a very warm and wonderful holiday season. Maybe even returning to a time, an attitude, when we just thanked God for His Kindness.
