I wasn’t keeping track of this over the years, but Christmas 2017 was apparently Jennifer Lawrence’s fourth Christmas in a row where she visited sick children at her hometown hospital. It’s easy to forget that J-Law has been famous since she was, like, 20 years old. She’s also been an icon to girls, tweens and teens because of the Hunger Games franchise, and because she just seems like a big kid anyway. Well, for four years running, Jennifer has visited the Norton’s Children’s Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. She did the same this year, obviously.
The hospital posted these Instagrams and it seems like she spent a lot of time with the kids and with the hospital staff. Last year, she donated $2 million towards the creation of a new wing at the hospital. All of this is really sweet.
In addition to that good deed, Jennifer also sent Kris Jenner a Porsche. Kris didn’t specify that she wanted an adult-sized Porsche, so Jen sent her a kid-sized one. I bet Saint West will love it!

I had no idea she and Kris Jenner were “BFFs.” Huh.
I love that she’s bringing attention to the children’s hospital. Pediatric medical staff are the true heroes.
The fact that she is BFF with Kris Jenner make me like her more.
Right? I am not a KJ fan, but that kind of seems like a cute friendship.
@shannon it showed that she’s not judgey and can get along with anyone. It’s a good quality IMO.
Good for her, I have zero shade.
Plus 1. That’s awesome that she not only visits but donates a ton of money as well.
I LOVE that bear. Where did Kris get it? (I don’t really need to know, I probably can’t afford it)
Glad it’s not just me! Apparently it’s a custom made glass sculpture from a Parisian artist…so yeah, don’t think we can swing it 😉
I need someone to make a cheap plastic version.
Here you can get similar stuff, a bit more affordable…

Trying to be mean but is it a treat for the kids to meet her?
Well she’s Katniss Everdeen
Jennifer donated two million towards opening of children’s wing. She’s partially responsible for them being able to have treatment and procedures. Plus like another poster stated she’s katnis everdeen and has been coming coming four years in row for Xmas. Jennifer very close to hospital staff and administration.
The star of Hunger Games and X-Men? Yeah, a lot of kids will be thrilled to meet her.
A lot of the time it’s just nice for the kids to have visitors anyway. Often the only people they’ve seen for months have been family, staff members and other patients.
Plus it’s also nice for the parents, and the staff who have to work on Christmas.
My cousin met her. Her 9 month baby old was in there and my cousin was so thrilled to meet her. She took pic with Jennifer and she signed an autograph to her baby. So she also lifts the spirits of the parents with sick kids in hospital during the holidays.
The bear 😍
Good for her! I think any celebrity visiting on a day that’s so lonely–kids are supposed to be home opening gifts on Christmas, not sick in a hospital–is amazing. I taught a girl once who met Ludacris at CHoA and she wasn’t necessarily a huge fan, but it just made her day. She came back to school bragging! And the fact it’s on the hospital IG and not hers impresses me more.
Good for her, I think that’s awesome. I know a little boy who’s just recently been diagnosed with cancer (well, I don’t KNOW him, my mom is BFFs with his grandmother so I know her) and I think that’s where he’s at – I wonder if he got to meet her. What a beautiful way for her to spend her Christmas and her money. She can talk about farts whenever she wants; this alone shot me from, “I have no opinion on her” to “she’s awesome – fangirl now” I’m a sucker for anyone helping sick kids.
I love it when the rich and powerful donate and spend time to make a change. Thank you Jennifer Lawrence!
I couldn’t help but read this post in a bitter tone from the writer xD anyone else?
Jennifer is a true gem.
The photo of the team at the hospital gives me the warm and fuzzies. Man, there are good people out there.
On a separate note – I’m always confused when the Kardashians are accepted by other celebrities. One example that gets me every time – Serena Williams and Kim. Serena, you’re too good! WHYYY?
Yeah I think it’s weird too but it seems that people who have met Kim said she’s actually really nice and sweet. Superficial as hell but a nice person.
Anyway thumbs up for Jlaw. I think it’s cool that she got the hospital wing and spends time with very sick children on Christmas. Spending time with the staff too is a bonus. I’m sure they appreciate support too.
Kudos to her. No shade at all.
Well done her. That’s awesome.
And can we get a shout of cheer for the guys in the fab holiday print suits?
She’s making a positive difference that’s huge!! That’s nice, and shows a warm hear; good for her!
One of my dear friends works at that hospital and met Jennifer last year. She said that Jen was sweet, friendly, down-to-earth and very approachable. She also said she had a killer sense of humor.
