The actress’ kind donation comes after she visited patients in the children’s hospital on Christmas Eve. Veroncica Tracie, mother of Bria who is being treated at the centre, was delighted to meet the award winner. “She was very sweet, genuine and I could sense the beauty of her soul. You know how some people just light up a room, or you just feel comfortable in their presence,” she said.Before focusing on her ambition to become an actress, Jennifer was an assistant nurse at her parent’s summer camp and intended on becoming a nurse. Speaking on the chat show Live! With Kelly and Michael she revealed: “I actually had a five year plan when I came out here to act. I was like ‘’I’ll give it five years, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll go to nursing school.'”

Before entering the entertainment industry, the actress intended to become a nurse.

After the celebrity revealed her new foundation on Friday, Jennifer’s parents went to the children’s center to tell the media about their daughter’s kind gesture. Her mother Karen noted, “She’s not materialistic; she’s all about giving.” “[She] has the biggest heart of anybody I know.”
