Jennifer Lawrence has donated $2 million to a children's hospital in her hometown. The
Hunger Games star's foundation has gifted the large sum to the Kosair
Children’s Hospital in her native Kentucky in order to establish the
Jennifer Lawrence Foundation Cardiac Intensive Care Unit.
In a
video message announcing her donation, she said:
"As part of my effort
to help these children and caregivers, I challenge the entire community
to get behind this cause and help match my gift by raising an additional
$2 million to support all of these brave and inspiring children."
During a trip home for Christmas, Jennifer delighted the patients by visiting the hospital.
She stopped by the same hospital during Christmas 2014 too
and also took a break from filming 'X-Men: Apocalypse' in Montreal,
Canada, in August to spend time with the patients at Shriners Hospital
for Children.
Shriners Hospital wrote on Facebook: "A very special visitor stopped by our Canada hospital today.
"Jennifer
Lawrence is in Montreal filming a new movie and she made time to visit
some of our #ShrinersCanada kids and staff. Everyone had a great time!"
