Kristen Bell ‘proud’ of her daughters’ donations
Kristen Bell was ”proud” of her daughters after the emptied their piggy bank to donate to charity.
The ‘Frozen 2’ actress – who has Lincoln, six, and Delta, five, with husband Dax Shepard – and her family have donated $150,007.96 to No Kid Hungry, a charity dedicated to end child hunger and poverty and explained the unusual figure was a result of the youngsters’ contributions.
She wrote on Instagram: ”NKH has always been there for kids who need them. They work tirelessly to provide food for the hungry bellys all over this country. I encourage anyone with the means to share to donate as well, any amount helps, so we can get through this together.
”The reason the number is odd, is because when my kids overheard me making the donation, they asked if they could also donate the money from their piggy bank,” she explained. ”I couldn’t have been prouder to add that extra, and important 7 dollars and 96 cents.[heart eye emojis] (sic)”
Kristen and her family are the latest stars to donate to those in need during the coronavirus pandemic.
