AceShowbiz - This past holiday season, Ariana Grande's generosity and love for Manchester shone brightly. The singer made a significant donation to the Manchester Foundation Trust Charity, bringing joy to children across the city's hospital network. The charity expressed their gratitude, recognizing Grande's continued connection to Manchester since the tragic suicide bombing in 2017 that occurred after her concert.
"Thank you @arianagrande!" the charity wrote online. "We are so grateful to Ariana for thinking of our young patients this Christmas."
"The gifts she has donated are being distributed to babies, children and teenagers across Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, Trafford General Hospital, Wythenshawe Hospital and North Manchester General Hospital. @mftnhs," it continued.
Grande's bond with Manchester remains strong, and her efforts to honor those affected by the attack continue to inspire. Back in 2022, she had already donated gifts to the same hospital system.
In the spirit of the holidays, Grande also graced fans with a live rendition of her festive hit "Santa Tell Me". To celebrate the song's 10th anniversary, she shared a heartfelt message, extending holiday wishes to all. The song also made a notable surge in popularity, reaching the Billboard Hot 100's top 10 for the first time since its original release.
Grande's connection to Manchester and her commitment to spreading joy during the holiday season is a testament to her compassion and unwavering support for the city that has become so special to her.
