Rihanna gives 1.8 Million To Hospital In Grandmother’s Memory

Who knew that Rihanna had such a big heart. The super popular singer opened up her checkbook and made a whopping $1.8 million donation to a hospital in her native land of Barbados in memory of her late grandmother. The singer was left grief stricken following the death of Clara ‘Dolly’ Braithwaite in June and has now been able to honor her beloved grandmother by making a sizable donation to the radiotherapy department at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown

The unit has now been renamed the Clara Braithwaite Center for Oncology and Nuclear Medicine. Rihanna visited the facility on Saturday with her mother Monica and she says in a statement, “This was my way of giving back to Barbados, in a form of philanthropy, by assisting the QEH in its continued modernization program… I believe that this will have a huge impact on the people of Barbados. This was all done to save lives or at least extend them.”
