If you turn on the news during these trying times, you’re bound to see a fairly bleak look at our world. The coronavirus outbreak is tormenting everyone, there’s turmoil in Washington, D.C., and we’re all stuck in our homes wondering if we’re going to be able to have anything that resembles summer in the coming months. But, if you look closer, you’ll see that there are stories of heroes — the first responders, health care workers, grocery store employees, and others. These selfless individuals go to work every day to make our lives better through their work while we sit at home and wait, watching Netflix and eating junk food. But, while they put their lives and health on the line, celebrities are doing what they can: giving money.
In these times of turmoil, many famous people have stepped up to donate funds to charities helping those affected by COVID-19. Check some of them out below. Maybe their giving will make you decide to open up your wallet and give back a little, too.
