Thankfully, Dr. Wilson and Chicago’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications worked together so that his second million-dollar gas giveaway wouldn’t result in similar traffic issues. 

For the million-dollar giveaway, drivers abided by various rules, such as not to start lining up for gas until after 7 a.m. Traffic Control Aides and officers from the Chicago Police department were also deployed to participating gas stations to help direct traffic.

After the success of Wilson’s first $200k gas giveaway, gas station owners Khalil Abdullah and Amin Ibrahim decided to participate in the second giveaway. Together, the three businessmen provided Chicago residents with 50 different gas stations to get free gas from. 

Dr. Wilson has been a loyal Chicago citizen since the start of the pandemic and tried to help his fellow community members as much as possible.

At the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, he donated over 30 million face masks to South Suburban, West Suburban, and downstate communities. He also donated $1 million to help those who lost their jobs during the pandemic and an additional $1 million to help fund local churches. 

It is rare to hear such amazing stories of selflessness and loyalty to one’s community. Since these stories are rare, we should all greatly appreciate Dr. Wilson and everything he is doing to aid his fellow Chicago residents.
