Lots of wealthy people on all sides of the political spectrum will give donations etc. to causes such as this. I was referring to those on the left who make such a big deal about the evil rich and helping the needy but never seem to do that much. If you can show me one such who offered to house refugees I'll show you many more who promised to but didn't.
The people I reckon who're the real givers are not the multi-millionaire celebs who donate concert proceeds (generated in the main from much poorer people anyway) but the ordinary folk who turned up at the scene, gave some some of what little they have and got their hands dirty. They're the ones who deserve the real plaudits not uber rich Sir Saint Holier Than Though and the like who could well afford to do a whole lot more than they do and still have more money than they know what to do with.
