The Terminator actor announced on Instagram that he had set up a GoFundMe page called the Frontline Responders Fund, which aims to purchase medical equipment for frontline medical workers.
To kick it off, Schwarzenegger said he has already donated US$1 million (S$1.43 million) and called on others to help out.
“I never believed in sitting on the couch and complaining about how bad things are, I always believed we should all do our part to make things better. This is a simple way to protect our real action heroes on the frontlines in our hospitals, and I’m proud to be part of it,” he said.
