Rihanna’s Got The Heart To Donate

RiRi once preached “B**** better have my money” , well ask and you shall receive cuz Rihana just gave a whole lot of money toward the Corona relief efforts. Her foundation Clara Lionel Foundation -named after her grandparents- donated 5 Million toward the latest pandemic relief efforts that has been ravaging the world.

Plunging the world into chaos , the rapidly spreading pandemic has brought out a bright side of humanity with many people coming forward to help those in need. The foundation has announced that they will be supporting international committees like Direct Relief , Partners in Health, Feeding America, World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and so on. On a local level, the local food banks, protective gear stocks , old age homes will be receiving funds from the foundation.

The foundation said its goal is “to immediately mobilize a broad response working with on-the-ground partners.” In these times , those from lower economic background struggle the most to sustain themselves, “Never has it been more important or urgent to protect and prepare marginalized and underserved communities — those who will be hit hardest by this pandemic,” said Justine Lucas, Executive Director of the Clara Lionel Foundation, in a statement. Rihanna’s charity has a dedicated site where those interested may help fight the pandemic by contributing as well.

Other celebrities like Justin Timberlake and various NBA players have also donated funds to help schools, hospitals and food banks that are overwhelmed by the pandemic.

Many artists have also done their bit to sensitize the public about the importance of self isolation , by staying at home and interacting with their fans via live streams. Some of them have even taken part and organised live stream concerts to boost morale amongst their fans , it truly shows how we’re in this together
