Gisele Bundchen is doing her best to give back to the community. This week, the Brazilian supermodel donated $1 million to a women's shelter, which helped fund a playground related to their new 'Children's Village'. With the money, the facility will look to combat childhood homelessness.
"I have no words to express my gratitude for places like the Lotus House Shelter, the largest women's shelter in America, as they provide a haven that allows women and children to heal, reclaim their lives, and build a foundation for the future," she wrote on Instagram.

"I am grateful to help fund the building of the new Children's Village, which will bring education and play, creating new possibilities for children in need."
Furthermore, the 42-year-old said she was honored to be able to help the organization in such a noble cause.
Gisele Bundchen wanted to focus on children's development
In a press release, Bundchen highlighted why this particular initiative is important to her:
"Funding the playground for the Children's Village is important to me because the benefits of play include physical fitness, social interactions, cognitive development, self-confidence, and overall well-being. All these elements build a strong foundation for growth," she said.
According to their website, The Children's Village is a way to deepen the commitment to the important work Lotus House has been focusing on, which is helping homeless children grow, heal and learn.
One goal, of course, is to end homelessness.
Apart from philanthropy, Gisele Bundchen has been focusing on her career for the past few months. The former Victoria's Secret angel has been dividing time between Brazil and the USA, working with brands like Louis Vuitton. Earlier this month, Bundchen was seen on a shopping spree in Miami.
While her divorce from Tom Brady was a big change, the former couple seem to have moved on with their lives.
