Walt Disney Co. donates $5 million to Notre Dame

US media giant Disney is offering assistance for the reconstruction of the Paris Cathedral Notre Dame.

Not just companies, wealthiest families of Paris have come forward to offer financial assistance. The donation threshold, have now crossed a billion and a half mark.
