In the summer of 2017, inspired by Michael Jackson’s philanthropic work with the Heal the World charity organization, Dr. Alimorad Farshchian created a similar concept called “Heal the Earth through the Arts.” This charity holds telethons live on Facebook; the telethons help to raise money for the homeless in Miami. Dr. Farshchian, medical director for The Center for Regenerative Medicine, has stated in several interviews that this is his way of giving back to his community and continuing Michael Jackson’s legacy.

This Thanksgiving, Heal the Earth through the Arts Foundation joined Miami Rescue to feed the homeless.
