GOOD DEEDS!: Chrissy Teigen Just Paid Off a Complete Strangers Beauty School Tuition!

One of our fav ladies, Chrissy Teigen just made a North Carolina woman’s dreams come true by paying off her tuition to beauty school.

Mercedes Edney of Charlotte had started an online fundraiser last month to raise $5,995 for esthetician school. She had raised about $300 by Friday, when Teigen stepped in and paid off the rest.

In 2012, Edney founded Ixora Botanical Beauty, using her chemical engineering background and knowledge of family traditions to create natural skincare products. On her YouCaring crowdfunding page, Edney wrote that she wanted to “further my skin care knowledge by getting my license in esthetics” but financial aid and scholarships weren’t available.

“I’ve seen this be your passion for such a long time now,” Teigen wrote in a note with her donation. “So excited to see you fulfill your dream!”
She also said she was “really excited” for Edney on Twitter.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!! @chrissyteigen I don't even know how else to thank you right now.

Edney tweeted that whens he first saw the huge amount of money come in, she initially thought it was a glitch, and talked about the financial struggles she’d faced since launching her business.

I've been struggling for so long. I put my everything into my business. I have sacrificed so much just trying to focus on my goal..

And I'm crying again. I haven't even tweeted about everything. I've been in a perpetual state of holding my breath for like 2 years.

I was so prepared to just keep struggling until I got my goals accomplished. This just helped me so much.

And she said that if she ever met Teigen, she’d give her “the biggest hug on earth.”
