Since the beginning of her successful career, Lady Gaga has been helping the society with her charity and philanthropic work worldwide, and in the time we're facing with continuous struggles is something we need to recognize.
From the proceeds of one of her 2010's sold-out Monster Ball Tour shows for the Haiti relief, the creation of an exclusive rubber bracelet to support the Japan tsunami relief, the constant support of the LGBTQ community and to help prevent HIV/AIDS, have been just few cases she has joined, and more recently with the creation of her Born This Way Foundation co-funded by her mother Cynthia Germanotta that has helped kids to face suicide struggles and mental health by creating a kinder and braver world.

I think she is the tops as a person & as an artist/entertainerhttps://t.co/7W7xJSsmQF
Gaga insists she owes her charitable interests to the late Beatles star and his widow. "I was actually always a very big fan of Yoko Ono and also her work with her late husband John Lennon, and when they made peace statements together, they were very simple; They would say things like, 'Give peace a chance', and the press would say, 'Well, what do you mean?' and they'd say, 'That's what we mean - just give it a chance'. We're asking people to give kindness a chance." she said to UK's New Magazine.
The 31-year-old recently teamed up with organizers at Staples for Students, who are donating $2.000,000 to the BTW Foundation and DonorsChoose.org to help foster a positive environment in schools. She recently visited students at Walter Reed Middle School in California to discuss the difficulties they face as teenagers.

"They came in all shapes and sizes, with different academic heights, and there were kids with disabilities," she says. "It was extraordinary to look each other in the eye, hear what they needed: 'I need to be accepted; I want to feel supported; I want the classroom to be more like this or that because I was born this way.' It was really powerful. Everyone can go on about how the world needs to be a better place, that we're in a very negative time, but this starts in the classroom," she continues. "The world becomes better when people are kind."
