Chrissy Teigen just paid this girl’s tuition and Twitter is LOVING it

Twitter cannot get enough of Chrissy Teigen, and who could blame them!

The model, mother and social media queen is constantly making us laugh with her relatable posts and hilarious comments, but she seems to have outdone herself with her latest gesture.

Beauty fanatic, Mercedes Edney, from North Carolina, set up an online crowd-funding page, in an effort to gather the $6,000 she needed for a beauty aesthetics course.

On the page Mercedes explained how much the opportunity meant to her: ‘‘I know sometimes there is a stigma for asking for help, but this is a huge dream of mine and I am willing to do whatever I can to make it.’’

By Friday, Mercedes had raised around $300, but was still a long way from her goal.

Enter Chrissy Teigen.

The star brought Mercedes' total up to her goal amount with a generous donation of $5,605. Chrissy also included a message saying: ‘’I’ve seen this be your passion for such a long time now. So excited to see you fulfil your dream!’’

Mercedes admitted that when she first got the notification about the donation, she thought it was a glitch. 

 

Something absolutely amazing happened last night. Many of you know how much I love skin care and my plans to attend esthetician school next month. Last night I posted my tuition fundraiser on twitter and something I never in my wildest dreams happened. My paypal alert went off, and as I looked at my phone, there was amount of $5605. I thought it was a glitch. I then look at my email and realized it came from my fundraiser. @chrissyteigen donated my entire tuition money for school. I have been crying all night and I cried in the office this morning as I paid my downpayment for esthetician school. I haven't been this happy in a very long time. Thank you Chrissy and thank you to everyone else who voted or rtd my link or have supported me this entire time. It means more to me than you'll ever know. #ixorabb #futureesthetician
