Kylie Jenner Donates $1 Million Towards Face Masks and Gear for Medical Workers During Coronavirus Pandemic
As more and more celebrities fortunately start to step up to give back to those in need during the devastating Coronavirus pandemic, fans are looking towards the very wealthy Kardashian-Jenner family for help. As we previously reported, Kim Kardashian is donating a portion of her SKIMS shapewear line profits towards families affected by the virus, and now Kylie Jenner is doing her part.
TMZ reports that Kylie's generous donation was revealed by Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, who happens to be the makeup mogul's OB-GYN. The Los Angeles physician took to Instagram today to express her gratitude for the billionaire, starting off her lengthy caption with, "I am speechless, my eyes are filled with tears of joy and my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude." She later continued with:
"One of my patients, a beautiful Living Angel just donated $1,000,000 to help us buy hundreds of thousands of masks, face shields, and other protective gear which we will have delivered directly to our first responders, as too many masks at hospitals are disappearing before making their way onto the faces of our front line heroes."
Aliabadi concluded the heartfelt post with, "From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU @kyliejenner [heart emoji]. You are my hero. This generous donation will help save many precious lives. Our world is a better place with you in it. I love you so much."
Kylie was quick to reply to the sweet post, commenting, "i love you! and thank YOU for all the love and care you put into everything that you do! you’re an angel on earth." And of course, people are so happy to hear the news, with Aliabadi receiving comments such as, "Love you both! Kylie is an angel," and "Wow amazing." Amazing indeed.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has not shared her donation on her own social media pages, proving that perhaps this family does give back without anyone watching. We're surely hoping so, anyway. To learn how to give back to your own community during this difficult time, check out the link here.
