AceShowbiz - Justin Bieber donated $100,000 to a fan in New York who was raising money for mental health awareness.
The star was in the city promoting his upcoming album "Changes" with an appearance at MTV's Fresh Out Live event on Friday, February 7, 2020 afternoon. And while in town, the "Yummy" star took the time to share a generous donation with fan Julie Coker, who was campaigning for the cause.
"I work for mental health now because of my own mental health struggles in the past," she told the New York Post. "And it's important for us to talk about mental health because more than 50 per cent of us will have a mental health challenge in our lifetime."
She added, "Justin has a big following, so if he has a good message about mental health, hopefully everybody else... will want to start thinking about mental health in a different way."
The star has been open about his own mental health struggles, and notably took time away from the spotlight last year to focus on his personal wellbeing, amid a battle with Lyme disease.
Justin releases "Changes" next Friday, February 14, 2020.
