Amber Heard made a huge announcement on Thursday regarding the $7 million divorce settlement between her and Johnny Depp.
According to Mashable, Heard announced she will be donating the large sum to two charities: the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.
According to TMZ, earlier this week, Heard withdrew her request for a domestic violence restraining order against Depp.
Heard released the following statement:
As described in the restraining order and divorce settlement, money played no role for me personally and never has, except to the extent that I could donate it to charity and, in doing so, hopefully help those less able to defend themselves. As reported in the media, the amount received in the divorce was $7 million and $7 million is being donated. This is over and above any funds that I have given away in the past and will continue to give away in the future. The donation will be divided equally between the ACLU, with a particular focus to stop violence against women, and the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, where I have worked as a volunteer for the past 10 years alongside organizations like the Art of Elysium. Over the years, I have seen firsthand how more funding for staffing, better equipment and better medication can make the difference between life or death for a child. I know these organizations will put the funds to good use and look forward to continuing to support them in the future. Hopefully, this experience results in a positive change in the lives of people who need it the most. – Amber
