Kylie Jenner wants to help out even more in the fight against coronavirus.
Kylie, her mom and manager, Kris Jenner, and Coty, Inc – the beauty conglomerate who invested in Kylie Cosmetics and Kylie Skin – have teamed up to produce hand sanitizers, which will be donated to the emergency and healthcare workers on the front lines of the current COVID-19 public health crisis.
ABC News reports that each hand sanitizer will even be customized with a sweet message for the recipients: “Dedicated to first responders working to support our communities.”
Kylie has already donated $1 Million to help provide health workers with necessary supplies like masks and PPEs.
On Wednesday (March 25), Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, who delivered Kylie’s daughter, Stormi, a little over two years ago, shared the news on Instagram.
“I am speechless, my eyes are filled with tears of joy and my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude. I made a wish to the Universe to gather protective masks for our brave healthcare workers and today my dream came true,” Dr. Aliabadi wrote. “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.”
“I have never felt more blessed to be a doctor, as helping our brave ER and ICU workers feels just as gratifying as helping my own patients,” she continued. “From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU @kyliejenner ❤️. 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. Thank you X a million.”
“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,” Kylie commented on the post.
Her eldest sister, Kim Kardashian-West, has also pledged $1 Million to help families affected by COVID-19 through her shapewear line, SKIMS.
Many other stars have also launched campaigns to help those in need during the coronavirus pandemic.
Leonardo DiCaprio has teamed up with Laurene Powell Jobs, Apple, and the Ford Foundation have committed $12 Million to launch America’s Food Fund – an initiative to address the issue of food access in the United States.
Hosted by GoFundMe, it will provide funding relief to World Central Kitchen (WCK) and Feeding America in furthering their missions to feed children who rely on school lunch programs, low-income families, the elderly, individuals facing job disruptions and other vulnerable populations impacted by COVID-19.
Oprah Winfrey has pledged $1 Million in support for the cause, and another $9 Million “to help Americans during this pandemic in cities across the country and in areas where I grew up,” making a total of $10 Million in donation.
