The video game company behind a detailed re-creation of the Notre Dame Cathedral will donate half a million euros to fund restoration efforts after the massive fire that damaged much of the structure on Monday. It is also rumored the game itself could serve as a reference for architects who rebuild.

As Rich Lavish Cash on Notre-Dame, Many Ask: What About the Needy?

I feel the same way. Hundreds of millions for (yes, timeless historical, symbol) but still it just a building, and they have nothing for the underclass. Well, they can at least pray in Notre Dame. I was there in 2015, and I gave 40 euro to a gypsy beggar outside, and felt sick for a moment, seeing this woman, in all black, face covered, with her children, dirty hands and feet, in front of all these tourists.

I guess the thing is it's more than a building but I know what you mean.

The Roma situation is a bit more complicated than you may realize but good on you for paying it forwards whatever her reality was.
