Why YouTuber Lilly Singh Gave Away $1,000 To Her Fans

YouTuber Lilly Singh, better known by her moniker 'Superwoman', recently gave away $1,000 to celebrate reaching 1,000 vlogs. The third highest-paid YouTuber in the world spread some early Christmas cheer amongst her fans by helping them with everything from their gym memberships to books to rent and groceries. On November 7, Lilly Singh asked her 4.5 million Twitter followers about the challenges they're facing and then offered to give cash to help them tide through.

Mom telling me that she's going to die very soon EVERYDAY. I don't blame her even the doctor said that to me...so it's hard for me to accept the fact that I'm going to live alone with no parents at this age. I'm not ready to lose anyone in my life

According to the BBC, Uma was 'speechless' when Lilly offered to pay her to take her sick mum out for a fun night.
 

Lilly I wasn't expecting for you to help love, I just wanted to vent my problems with you. Temple is the only place where my mom finds peace and happiness, I bring her there almost everday Thank you for interacting with me,this means so much to me Lilly
