Day continued, while noting that “many of the hospitals in the epicenter of this war” are “critically short on supplies” and the swimsuit model and Rob’s donation to “caregivers, the patients, and the community” made her “cry tears of joy.”

The editor ended her post stating that there was not way “to quantify the gratitude” she had for both of them.”
“Let’s motivate others to do the same, or what they can to help our hospitals and caregivers battle for us,” MJ wrote. “Make a mask, stay home, donate, use your platform. Do what you can, because it all matters. These masks equate to lives saved. Period. Thank you. “
