Kristen Bell has got fans raving about her online after it was revealed that she donated over $100,000 towards other people’s medical bills.
There’s no better way than to wrap up 2024 than to give the gift of life, and that’s basically what she helped to do when donating a large amount of cash to those in need.
The Frozen star has been discovered to have collaborated with Tommy Marcus, who goes by the name of Quentin Quarantino on Instagram to assist those impacted by the US’s ‘broken healthcare system’.
According to screenshots of a conversation between the pair, Tommy asked Kristen to share a GoFundMe page and to use her audience so that a person would be able to afford their medical expenses.

However, even though Tommy told her there was ‘zero pressure’ to pitch in herself, she took things to a whole new level.
In screenshots shared by Tommy, Kristen can be seen eagerly asking what else she can do to help.
He shared with his audience: “To the new people to my page, the QQ audience has fulfilled three medical fundraisers this week (in addition to $30 million of crowdfunding over the years).
“The third fundraiser I had posted was stalling, and then this happened:”.
Tommy then posted Kristen’s direct message to his page, where she said ‘we need to do more things like this’.
She said to him: “Tommy-I saw this still needed 4300 to reach the goal and I read the story and it nearly brought me to tears… I just gave the remaining amount it needed. We need to do more things like this, the world needs it and please send Marisol [the patient] my love and well wishes.”
From there, they formed an alliance to help those in need.
Kristen later replied to him, writing that she had a goal in mind: “This was amazing- but I wanna do more- how can I give 100,000 to people who need it for medial bills?
“I want to make sure we do it in the best wat how do we do it??”
To this, Tommy struck up an agreement to ensure that Kristen’s money would be used to help fund people’s healthcare.
He said that for ‘every fundraiser I post, once it hits half the goal, you close it out with the second half until we reach $100k spent on your end.’
He then clarified that if ‘the next one needs around $50k raised’, once it gets to $25k, Kristen will then pay the remaining amount to the fundraiser.
Clearly, she was more than happy to comply as she wrote an enthusiastic: YES!! TOMMY LETS DO IT!”
The Veronica Mars star ended up keeping her promise and donated over $20,00 to one little girl's leukaemia fund, nearly $25,000 to a cancer patient called Murilo, and there’s still funds left for her to chip in towards.
Tommy went on to praise Kristen for her generosity and said she helped to carry out ‘some of the most important and impactful work we’ve ever done.’
Now that’s the energy you should bring into the new year.
