Kylie Jenner is helping to improve the lives of teens fighting cancer.
The 23-year-old Kylie Cosmetics founder donated $500,000 to Teen Cancer America that has helped launch a new lounge for teen cancer patients at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt.
Jenner's contribution was inspired by her friend, Harry Hudson, a cancer survivor, who also was involved in the project.
"We are excited to announce the completion of a new Teen Cancer Lounge with @VUMCchildren and support from @KylieJenner & @HarryHudson," Teen Cancer America tweeted. "The space was uniquely designed for teen cancer patients, and Harry gave patients a sneak peek during a virtual visit to #SeacrestStudios."

In a statement, Jenner said: "Teen Cancer America is an incredible organization, and I'm so blessed that I was introduced to it through Harry. It's been an incredible process to see this come to life, and I send well wishes to all patients and their families."

She has always been there for me, and together, we wanted to figure out a way to be there for other young people who are battling this disease. With the help of Teen Cancer America, we were able to contribute the first Hey, I'm Here For You Teen lounge at Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt — a comfortable space for young people undergoing treatment to pursue their passions," Hudson said.
