Celebrities are loved all over the world for different reasons. They entertain all and sundry with their talent and skills and influence aspiring youngsters who aim for the stars. But do these celebrities use the power of position they hold for a good cause, too?

Some celebrities come from a difficult background, surviving different struggles to get to the place that they are currently enjoying. It is because of the hurdles that they faced which prompted them to help those in situations similar to theirs. They have the platform so why not put it to good use? Among these celebrities, some are able to give back more to the community than others, and that makes their fans fall in love with them even more. They incite inspiration in a positive manner, showing that they care for those around them as they use the resources they have to provide for those who don’t have much. The causes that celebrities work to provide for include mental health charities, some of which are greatly supported by certain well-known personalities.
