Renown make up Mogul and reality star Kylie Jenner has donated the generous sum of $1 million to aid in the fight against COVID-19 (Coronavirus).

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality star donated the money to her obstetrician-gynecologist (OB-GYN), Dr. Thais Alaibadi who works at the hospital-to-the-stars, the Cedars Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles, California.
The money will be used to purchase personal protective equipment for healthcare professionals working on the front lines against COVID-19.

Similarly, Actress Angelina Jolie has made a donation of $1 million to help children impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Academy Award-winning actress gave the money to No Kid Hungry Charity, to help fund the charity’s efforts to provide free meals to children from low-income families during school closures.
“As of this week, over a billion children are out of school worldwide because of closures linked to coronavirus,” said Jolie, a mom of six. “Many children depend on the care and nutrition they receive during school hours, including nearly 22 million children in America who rely on food support. No Kid Hungry is making resolute efforts to reach as many of those children as possible.”
American celebrities have been opening up their checkbooks as the coronavirus spreads across the U.S and the world as a whole. Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Ciara and Russell Wilson, have all donated generously to aid frontline coronavirus healthcare workers.
