Gibson donates €7.3m to sick children

Mel Gibson has donated more than €7.3m to be split between two Los Angeles hospitals to help care for children from foreign countries.

The donation will help children with serious medical conditions who are unable to be treated in their own countries. The children who will benefit from Gibson’s donation will be recommended by Healing the Children.

“For the past several years, the Gibson family has quietly supported Healing the Children’s efforts to help sick and injured children around the world,” said the organisation’s founder, Cris Embleton.

“Not only have they given financial support, they also have given their time and hearts and as a result have seen first hand how people working together can give a child the future they deserve."
