In an interview with “Today’s” Jacob Soboroff, he discussed how important Make-A-Wish has been in his life ever since his father helped grant the first wish in New Jersey in 1983. The Hollywood celebrity has extra affection for the organization because of its long existence (almost 40 years) and the 900,000 wishes it has fulfilled.
Dwayne Johnson’s philanthropic gestures
Aside from his fame as a movie star, The Rock is well-known for his philanthropic nature. As head of the Dwayne Johnson Foundation, he gives money to organizations like the military and animal shelters on a monthly basis and fulfills wishes via the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
He does good deeds that aren’t seen by the general population. In the process of purchasing homes for loved ones or giving cars as gifts to coworkers, the ten-time WWE champion brings joy to many. Tanoai Reed, who is also his cousin and stunt double, received a vehicle worth thirty thousand dollars from him in 2018, and he also gave the same truck to Harvey Whippleman for Christmas.

His mother, Ata Johnson, is very important to him because she has been there for him since he started wrestling. The Rock’s followers love his heartfelt gestures as he expresses his gratitude to moms throughout the globe.
