Ariana Grande had the worst experience of her life five years ago, after one of her concerts, when a suicide bomber exploded a bomb in the lobby of the venue where she performed in Manchester, England.
Ariana has sent gifts and assistance to the children there every year since then, and this year was no exception. The Royal Manchester Children's Hospital Charity thanked her for donating Christmas gifts to patients at several local hospitals on Monday via its Instagram account.

"Thank you, Ariana!" they exclaimed. "We are so excited to receive Ariana Grande Christmas gifts for young patients across our hospitals," the post said.

According to the same statement, the gifts were given to babies, children, and teenagers at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, Wythenshawe Hospital, North Manchester General Hospital, and Trafford General Hospital.
"It's wonderful that Ariana has been so thoughtful once again and made this special donation to our family of hospitals," Tanya Hamid, interim director of Manchester Foundation Trust Charity, wrote on Instagram.
"We know that Manchester, and particularly the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, has a special place in Ariana's heart," she continued.
Always keep the victims of the attack in mind
A suicide bomber detonated a bomb inside the stadium's foyer near the end of her performance on May 22, 2017, killing 22 people and injuring over 500 more. Her "Dangerous Woman" tour was halted as a result, and she returned to Manchester a month later for a benefit concert with Chris Martin, Mac Miller, Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, Justin Bieber, and Miley Cyrus.
That event raised more than $13 million for the victims and their families, and Ariana writes a message to the survivors and victims' families every year.
