PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
Jennifer Garner has brought a little fun to a northeast Arkansas child care and family health center.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that Garner visited the ARcare Center for Education and Wellness in Augusta, about 75 miles northeast of Little Rock, on Thursday as an ambassador for Save the Children’s Head Start program.
In a video posted to social media, Garner is surrounded by a gaggle of children, whom she sternly – and jokingly – tells not to follow her. She storms off, trailed by toddlers. When she turns around and surprises them, the children scream and laugh.
Head Start programs provide early childhood education, health and wellbeing services to low income families
Keith Urban grants dying fan her last concert wish, serenading her at bedside
Marissa English was on hospice care and couldn’t attend Keith Urban’s sold-out concert despite having tickets to the Toledo, Ohio, show.
The 25-year-old is in rapidly declining health after being born with “a myriad of health conditions including water and an inoperable cyst on her brain, severe scoliosis and cerebral palsy,” according to WTOL-11. Nurses knew this wasn’t just a fan, but an Urban superfan. So they lobbied the country music superstar through social media, and he made a surprise bedside visit.
Urban serenaded English before his Thursday night show.
