Celebrities. They have become associated with today’s entertainment business. They make the front page of every newspaper no matter where they go or what they do. As a result, their life stories can be found all over the internet. What we don’t generally hear about are instances of people who go above and beyond to help others and charities.

These 12 celebrities, in particular, have restored our faith in humanity by their willingness to help others in need.

#1 Alicia Keys

The artist is a co-founder of the Keep A Child Alive foundation, which works to improve the health and well-being of disadvantaged children around the world. The charity’s main goal is to help young people impacted by HIV/AIDS.

#2 Beyoncé

Beyoncé spread holiday cheer in December 2013 by visiting a Walmart in Massachusetts, where she gave every customer a $50 gift card and wished them a Merry Christmas.

#3 Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp has played a number of famous roles. Many children enjoy his most famous role, Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. Depp has stated that he always travels with Jack’s suit in order to make brief stops at children’s hospitals.

During one of his visits to a hospital in Vancouver, the actor did not break the character even once. He took the time to engage with the youngsters and cheer them up, according to a hospital spokesman.

#4 Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian flew her admirers to Los Angeles for brunch (a mix of the terms “breakfast” and “lunch”) at the Four Seasons for her 35th birthday. “I just had the nicest brunch today I flew out every fan I follow on social media to celebrate my birthday!!!” Kim tweeted about the event.

#5 Lady Gaga

“I sat down with her and had someone take a picture of us. I complimented her on her show, but I was overall super nervous and flustered. I quickly got up to walk away, but she grabbed me, told me to sit down, and demanded we talk some more and take a few more pictures. It was glorious.”
