Lady Gaga has given us a million (more) reasons why she is awesome.

Three devastating shooting incidents have rocked the US in the last couple of weeks, and the most recent Oscar winner has decided to help the residents of the cities affected.

The Shallow singer has announced that her Born This Way Foundation will partner with Donors Choose to fund the educational needs of students in El Paso, Texas; Dayton, Ohio; and Gilroy, California.

The funding will cover the costs of projects and resources in 162 classrooms.

“My heart goes out to those who were taken from us too soon and to their families, loved ones, and communities who are left to grieve,” Gaga wrote in a Facebook post. “Everyone has the right to laws that make them feel safe in their communities. In this moment, I want to channel my confusion, frustration, and fury into hope. Hope that we are there for each other and for ourselves. Surviving and recovering from these tragedies also means prioritising your mental health and checking in on your loved ones. If you’re struggling, please be brave and tell a trusted someone. Don’t be scared to ask for help, I beg you. If you see a loved one struggling, please be brave and reach out, remind them it’s ok to not be ok, and listen to them.”

We think that deserves an applause.
