Edward Norton just raised almost $400,000 for a refugee in need.
Norton posted on his Facebook page, "I saw this story on one of my favorite sites, Humans of New York, and it moved me to tears. This man has suffered profound loss that would crush the spirit of many people and yet he still passionately wants a chance to contribute positively to the world. Please check out the story. "
"This man has suffered profound loss that would crush the spirit of many people," Norton wrote on CrowdRise, where he helped raise over $400,000 for the man, who lost his wife, daughter and his home when a missile struck his house in Syria. He fled to Turkey with his remaining family, but cannot work as a scientist there due to permit issues. He has been diagnosed with stomach cancer, but has no insurance for treatment. The man and his family are waiting to be transferred to Troy, Michigan as refugees.
