Ariana Grande gave gifts to children’s hospitals this Christmas, and now she’s brought joy and cheer to young patients in Manchester, UK.
Since the 2017 Manchester Arena аttаck, which claimed 22 lives, the singer of One Last Time has maintained a close relationship with the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity.
The hospital’s charity thanked the pop singer on Monday after posting images of dozens of colorful gifts beneath the Christmas tree on its Instagram and Twitter pages: “I’m grateful, Ariana! We are ecstatic that Ariana Grande is donating Christmas presents to our hospitals’ pediatric patients.”
Donations were given to infants, young patients, and adolescents at North Manchester General Hospital, Trafford Hospital, Wythenshawe Hospital, and Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital who were admitted to pediatric units.
“It’s fantastic that Ariana has once again been so thoughtful and made this very special donation to our family of hospitals,” stated Tanya Hamid, interim director of the Manchester Foundation Trust.
“We know Manchester, and especially the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, holds a special place in Ariana’s heart,” she said.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the 29-year-old singer gave 1,000 gifts to hospitalized children in Manchester over the Christmas season last year. In 2020, he gave each patient child at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital and Manchester Royal Infirmary a £100 ($120.82) Amazon voucher. In the five years since the bombing, Grande has remained closely connected to Manchester. A few weeks after the аttаck, she held a charity concert called One Love Manchester, which raised money for the victims of the Arena аttаck. Grande was even granted honorary citizenship.
