Some celebrities are really doing their bit to help during the coronavirus pandemic we are currently facing. According to “TMZ,” a “Keeping up with the Kardashians (KUWTK)” star has given a monetary donation to assist during this difficult time.

The publication reported that Kylie Jenner, 22, has donated $1 million to assist in getting the coronavirus under control. Her donation will be used to buy face masks, face shields, and other protective gear that healthcare professionals need.

On Wednesday, Dr. Thais Aliabadi thanked the reality star for her generous gift. Aliabadi is the doctor who delivered Jenner’s daughter, Stormi Webster.

A dream come true

The doctor had this to say: "I am speechless, my eyes are filled with tears of joy and my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude.” She explained how she’d made a wish “to the Universe” asking for supplies.

Thank you, Kylie Jenner, my hero

Aliabadi had wished for protective masks for healthcare workers and couldn’t believe her “dream came true." She revealed that she felt blessed to be in her profession.

Speaking to Michael Strahan, the general stated that the country needed people like Kevin Durant, Donovan Mitchell, and Jenner to reach out. He explained how people were actually dying from the pandemic.

Hopefully, Jenner’s donation will make up for the time she received a lot of backlash this month for using expensive chopsticks. At the time, the star took to her Instagram Stories to share videos of her new $450 Louis Vuitton chopsticks.

Some of her fans complained that she could’ve used the money for the eating utensils to feed the hungry. The KUWTK reality star also recently shared how she was handling the coronavirus quarantine.
