Ariana Grande has put on her Santa hat this holiday season, sending presents to children at various hospitals in Manchester, England. "Thank you Ariana!" The Royal Manchester Children's Hospital (RMCH) charity tweeted on Dec. 26: "We were delighted to receive Christmas presents from Ariana Grande for young patients at our hospitals."
Grande's beautifully wrapped gifts were distributed to babies, children and adolescents receiving care at the RMCH, as well as Trafford Hospitals, Wythenshawe Hospital and North Manchester General Hospital.
>Grande has given back to Manchester since the terrorist attack at her concert in the city in May 2017, killing 22 people and injuring more than 500. Following the incident, Grande paid tribute to the victims and helped the town heal. She also organized One Love Manchester, a benefit concert to benefit victims and their families through the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.
“Music is an escape. Music is the safest thing I have ever known,” Grande explained in a letter she wrote eight months after the attack. "When something so opposite and so toxic happens in your world that's meant to be anything but...it's shocking and heartbreaking in a way that seems impossible to fully recover from."
Grande went on to say that the people of Manchester have inspired her to be hopeful in the face of violence and hardship. "The spirit of the people of Manchester, the families affected by this horrific tragedy and my fans around the world have left a lasting mark on all of us for the rest of our lives," she wrote.
Grande continued: "I am constantly thinking about Manchester and I will carry that with me every day for the rest of my life." Ultimately, her gifts are just another way Grande honors the resilient community.
