Kylie donates $1m in aid of medics fighting COVID-19
Kylie Jenner has donated $1 million to Los Angeles medical officials to bear the cost of essential COVID-19 protective gear for emergency staff
Kylie Jenner has donated $1 million to Los Angeles medical officials to bear the cost of essential COVID-19 protective gear for emergency staff. There is an acute shortage of supplies and gear for healthcare professionals, which made Kylie extend the charity gesture, reports aceshowbiz.com. Gynaecologist Dr Thais Aliabadi, who delivered Kylie’s two-year-old daughter Stormi, shared the news in an Instagram post, as she thanked the reality star and cosmetics entrepreneur for providing the financial resources needed to outfit medics with personal protective equipment as they continue to treat patients struggling with the highly-contagious COVID-19 virus. “I am speechless, my eyes are filled with tears of joy and my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude,” Aliabadi wrote.
“I made a wish to the Universe to gather protective masks for our brave healthcare workers and today my dream came true. 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.” She added: “I have never felt more blessed to be a doctor, as helping our brave ER (emergency room) and ICU (intensive care unit) workers feels just as gratifying as helping my own patients.” “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....” Responding to the post, Kylie said: “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”.
Meanwhile, Jenner and rapper Travis Scott are reportedly back together following their split in October 2019. “The couple has always had love and respect for one another but took a break last year because they both had so much going on. They couldn’t fully focus on what it took to make the relationship work,” a source told etonline.com. “Kylie exploded in the make-up world and was busy making a billion dollar business and Travis was on tour and working on music. Although things haven’t slowed down much for the duo, they’re better able to handle it,” the source continued and added: “at the end of the day, the couple is happy to have their family back together.” Fans started speculating about Jenner and Scott’s reunion after the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star posted throwback photos of herself cosying up to Scott on Instagram last month. Jenner and Scott, who share two-year-old daughter Stormi, have been spotted together multiple times since their break-up. After an Oscars party in Los Angeles last month, a source had said the two were “in love”. “Kylie and Travis truly enjoy one another and are in love, but it can often be hard navigating their lives at such a young age,” the source said.
