Katy Perry donated $10.000 to Planned Parenthood and Pens Motivational essay.
On Friday, on Instagram, Katy Perry shared that she made a donation to Planned Parenthood. She is worried that the future government may take away the funding support for the organizations. So to ensure their functionality in the future the singer supports them with her donations.
Katy dedicated the donation to her teenage self, because in her teenage years, she had to visit the clinics in order to educate herself about sexual health.
She didn’t have any information about sexual health because of her shaded childhood. And she had no idea how things worked “down there”.
Coming form a lower to middle class family, the 32 year old singer didn’t have even health insurance while she was growing up. When she was a teenager, her parents took her to Mexico for a dental exam, because it was cheaper than in California.
The gained knowledge helped Katy become who she is now. Her educating herself helped her focus on her dreams of building a career in the music industry, until she knew she was ready to plan a family.
She is pleased to support Planned Parenthood, because it helps woman learn all options for their future, and gives them knowledge to plan their life properly.
According to Katy, now is the time to protect and create safe places for each other. And hopefully to inspire more people to make a gift as well and become a member and an ally.
