The world being hit by the Coronavirus pandemic was an unprecedented event and strange times, yet many helped each other about by donating to some excellent causes. Here are a few celebrities who helped out worldwide during lockdown:
Captain Tom Moore - This remarkable war veteran, helped the NHS raise money for research on Covid-19, by walking up and down his garden. Altogether, he raised a whole £32 million!
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively - This couple donated $1 million to Feeding America and Food Banks America.
Justin Bieber - Justin offered support for the people in China and also donated some money for them during the pandemic.
Vanessa Hudgens - Vanessa is donating money to Feeding America to help families across the world.
Jimmy Fallon - Jimmy and his family made a donation to Feeding America.
Russell and Ciara Wilson - Russell and Ciara donated 1 million meals to Food Lifeline.
Kristen Bell - Kristen Bell donated $150,000 to No Kid Hungry.
Kylie Jenner - The world’s youngest billionaire donated $1 million to LA hospitals, which will help to buy masks and ventilators for those in need of them.
Ariana Grande - Ariana is supporting several organisations all helping to fight against the Coronavirus. As well as this, Ariana helped to pay some of her fans’ wages - for a month - when they had lost their jobs.
Kim Kardashian - Kim donated $1 million from her SKIMS shapewear brand to help mothers and daughters in need during lockdown.
Through thick and thin, we are so glad everyone rallied together to help donate to such amazing causes, and to help people in need who may not have had the luxuries that we have today. Aside from celebrities, the key workers and NHS are our true heroes, who helped guide our country through the unknown; if we can do it once, we can do it again!
