Chrissy Teigen just paid this girl’s tuition and Twitter is LOVING it
Twitter cannot get enough of Chrissy Teigen, and who could blame them!
The model, mother and social media queen is constantly making us laugh with her relatable posts and hilarious comments, but she seems to have outdone herself with her latest gesture.
Beauty fanatic, Mercedes Edney, from North Carolina, set up an online crowd-funding page, in an effort to gather the $6,000 she needed for a beauty aesthetics course.
On the page Mercedes explained how much the opportunity meant to her: ‘‘I know sometimes there is a stigma for asking for help, but this is a huge dream of mine and I am willing to do whatever I can to make it.’’
By Friday, Mercedes had raised around $300, but was still a long way from her goal.
Enter Chrissy Teigen.
The star brought Mercedes' total up to her goal amount with a generous donation of $5,605. Chrissy also included a message saying: ‘’I’ve seen this be your passion for such a long time now. So excited to see you fulfil your dream!’’
Mercedes admitted that when she first got the notification about the donation, she thought it was a glitch.
@CruzanChoklate I'm really excited for you to live out your passion

Of course, when the Twittershpere got word of what Chrissy had done they were full of praise for the star…
