Rihanna makes a donation in memory of her late grandmother.
Rihanna has donated $1.75 million to a hospital in her native Barbados.
E! News
reports that the singer made the sizable donation in memory of her late
grandmother Clara "Dolly" Braithwaite, who passed from cancer in June.
The donation will lead the radiotherapy department at Queen Elizabeth
Hospital in Bridgetown to be renamed the Clara Braithwaite Centre for
Oncology and Nuclear Medicine.
"This was my way of giving back to Barbados, in a form of
philanthropy, by assisting the QEH in its continued modernization
program," said Rihanna in a statement. "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."
