Jennifer Lawrence has donated $2m to a children’s hospital.
The Academy Award winning actress announced in a YouTube video that the money will go towards establishing an intensive care unit at Kosair Children’s Hospital in her home state of Kentucky.
Lawrence is looking to raise an additional $2m by urging the public to donate to the hospital. “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,” she says in the video.
She added: “My family and I have met so many wonderful children on our visits to the hospital. Their strength and courage is inspiring.”
