Selena Gomez is trying to bring a difference through her stardom and we can’t thank her enough!

Selena Marie Gomez is a household name for the 90s kids. She was a major part of our Disney phase –who can forget Alex Russo, right? Even with the long list of achievements that she already has at such a young age, she is still one of the most humble celebrities. And she is someone who does a lot for social causes and upliftment of underprivileged children.

While it is out in public knowledge that she has struggled through phases of anxiety and depression after being diagnosed with Iupus, today we’re trying to focus on the good work that she’s done even through these times of hardship. Selena Gomez is into philanthropy and does considerable charity. It started in October, 2008 when she participated in St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital ‘Runway for Life’ benefit. In the same month, UNICEF named her as their spokesperson for their ‘Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF’ campaign, which encourages children to raise money on Halloween to help children around the world. She raised $700,000 that year.

In August, 2009 Gomez was named the UNICEF ambassador at just the age of 17, becoming the youngest to hold that position at the time. She returned as the UNICEF spokesperson, in 2010,for the 60th anniversary of their ‘Trick-or-treat for UNICEF’ campaign, where she held a benefit concert with her band and donated all the proceedings. She has continuously worked with UNICEF throughout years with projects like, ‘Programa Puente’, and ‘Tap Project’.
