DISNEY PRINCESSES DONATE

Anyone who knows anything about Disney knows that actress Kristen Bell is the voice of Princess Anna in the blockbuster movie franchise “Frozen.”

Recently Nancy, who knows I LOVE Disney, gave me an article she found on the Internet about Bell, who donated to the organization “No Kid Hungry (NKH).” Here is the article….

Why $7.96 Has the Internet Melting

Many kids rely on school lunches for a hot meal. With schools closed due to COVID-19, organizations like No Kid Hungry are stepping up to keep kids fed.

Kristen Bell—actress and real-life Disney princess— chipped in with a donation of $150,007.96. Why the strange number? Kristen explained on Instagram. “When my girls, Lincoln and Delta, overheard me making the donation, they asked if they could also donate the money from their piggy bank. I couldn’t have been prouder to add that extra, and important, seven dollars and ninety-six cents.”

Bell went on to state, “NKH has always been there for kids who need them. They work tirelessly to provide food for the hungry bellies 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.”

NKH’s response was, “We’re BEYOND grateful to our friend and #HungerHero for her gift of $150,007.96! Thank you for helping us send even more grants to schools and community groups working to feed kids through the COVID-19 outbreak.”

A comment by one fan reads. “Awesome job. The donation, but more importantly, raising kids with an awareness to help others.”

I know I used a Disney Princess as an example, but I also know there are many people around the country and in our own little community stepping forward to help wherever needed during this time. To each and every one of you, I say “Thank You” from my heart, and we will get through this together! Let’s celebrate with a GREAT BIG party when this is over!
