Chapter 402 Donate In Her Name
Upon hearing that, the orphanage’s director shed tears of joy.
Benjamin continued, “I’ll arrange for someone to construct a new building for the children and hire a tutor for
them. I’ll pay five thousand to cover the daily expenses of each child a year and will continuously support them until
they reach adulthood. I’ll also cover their medical expenses, if necessary. What do you think? Is there anything else
that you need?”
The director was stunned and looked at them in disbelief. “That’s more than enough! Thank you!”
A child would be able to live comfortably on a few hundred bucks a month, and that was a lot more than what an
ordinary family could afford.
That pledge for sponsorship was a pleasant surprise, and the director was overjoyed.
“All right then. I’ll get someone to prepare the contract. I’ll be bringing in more children in the future. And I’ll also be
setting up a foundation, so you don’t need to worry about the money anymore!” Benjamin promised.
“Okay!” The director was pleased to hear that. With Benjamin’s sponsorship, the orphanage would have no problem

Arissa, too, was just as stunned. She did not expect Benjamin to do that.
“Sir, can I get your name?” the director looked at them and asked.
“Arissa York. That’s the name you should remember,” Benjamin answered.
That answer rendered Arissa speechless.
The director mumbled Arissa’s name and expressed his gratitude. “All right! You’re our benefactor, and we’ll
remember you for life!”
“Remember this lady, not me!” Benjamin pulled Arissa over.
The director gave Arissa a surprised look. Arissa awkwardly pointed at Benjamin and said, “No, no, no. You should
remember him. He’s the one who has pledged to support the orphanage. He’s Benjamin Graham.”
“Benjamin Graham?” The director was struck dumb.
Never in a million years did he expect a wealthy and powerful man like Benjamin to visit the orphanage and pledge
to support them.
“Just remember Arissa’s name will do! My name is not important,” Benjamin insisted.
Arissa did not know what else to say. So was the director.
The director thought Benjamin wanted to lay low to avoid unwanted publicity. “All right then!”
“You’re the one supporting the orphanage. Why did you mention my name?” Arissa could not understand why
Benjamin did that.
Benjamin glanced at her. “Because you’ll be the one paying the orphanage!”
Arissa was a little annoyed. What? Does he expect me to pay for the expenses of a hundred kids here? How much
do I have to pay?
That would be five hundred thousand a year and five million for ten years. For every one thousand children, I’ll have
to pay five hundred thousand a year and fifty million for ten years.
If I had to pay for the children for the next eighteen years, I’d have to fork out a total of one hundred million. And
this amount is not inclusive of infrastructure development, workers’ salaries, and medical expenses.
That’s a huge sum, and I don’t have so much money!
Arissa began to realize that operating an orphanage was an overly ambitious idea.
The expenses alone was already a stumbling block.

She was too embarrassed to admit to the director that she could not afford to sponsor the orphanage. She also did
not want to disappoint the children.
Oh, well. Let them proceed with the contract. I guess I’ll just have to work harder to pay him back.
“Do you really mean what you’ve said?” The director needed the reassurance as he was afraid that Benjamin and
Arissa were not serious about the pledge.
“We’re serious about the pledge, of course!” Benjamin nodded and immediately called Ethen on the phone.
“Prepare a contract right now. We shall convert the orphanage into a school, and we’ll cover all the expenses,
teaching resources, and medical needs…”
Upon hearing that, Arissa was impressed with the detailed arrangement Benjamin made.
She turned to the director and said, “He’ll deliver what he had promised. The contract would be legally binding once
you’ve signed on it, so don’t worry.”
The director became even more thrilled when he heard that Benjamin planned to manage this orphanage like a
school. “You two are indeed Good Samaritans. Thank you!”
Arissa, who wished to get to know more about the children, did not forget the purpose of the trip. “Could you gather
the children for me? I would like to meet them!”
