Kylie Jenner Is Called 'Living Angel' By Her Doctor After Donating $1M
The world’s youngest self-made billionaire decided to spread some of her wealth. Kylie Jenner donated $1 million to local Los Angeles area medical centers and got called “a living angel” in the process.
“One of my patients, a beautiful Living Angel just donated $1,000,000 to help us buy hundreds of thousands of masks, face shields, and other protective gear which we will have delivered directly to our first responders, as too many masks at hospitals are disappearing before making their way onto the faces of our front line heroes,” Physician and OB-GYN Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi of Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles wrote in an Instagram post about the donation.
Aliabadi said she had made “a wish to the universe” that some miracle would happen so that healthcare workers would receive the equipment they need to continue fighting against COVID-19, and said her “heart is overwhelmed with gratitude” Kylie answered those prayers.
