Canadian doctor Samantha Nutt had big plans for 2020, hoping to raise more than $1-million extra to expand her relief work in war-torn countries.
Dr. Nutt runs a charity called War Child and, to celebrate its 20th anniversary, she’d organized a series of fundraising events, including a gala concert featuring Sting, Lyle Lovett and Sarah McLachlan. The extra money was going to bolster War Child’s award-winning programs, which help about 600,000 people in places such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Sudan.
