Jessica Simpson just keeps on giving - a week after buying her
dad a Ferrari, the pop star has handed officials at a Mexican
orphanage the keys to a brand new mini van.
The 26-year-old singer/actress surprised staff and kids at the Casa
Hogar Elim orphanage in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico on Sunday when she
drove a 2007 Chrysler Town & Country through the gates of the
home.
Simpson has enjoyed a long history with the orphanage - when she
first visited the place seven years ago, she had to be talked out
of adopting one of the children.
The singer has been a regular visitor and contributor ever
since.
Mama Lupita, who runs the struggling orphanage is the new owner of
the mini-van.
A thrilled Simpson was overcome with emotion as the children
thanked her for her generosity. She said, "I'm so honored and happy
to be able to help."
Simpson was joined in her mercy mission by mom Tina and
manager/father Joe.
The singer won a Chrysler sports car at the MTV Video Music Awards
last year, but asked to exchange the vehicle for a mini van, so she
could donate it to the orphanage, after hearing that Mama Lupita's
van had broken down.
