Jessica Simpson Donates Van To Orphanage

An orphanage in Mexico was the recipient of Jessica Simpson’s generosity when the celebrity donated a minivan she won at the MTV Music Awards last year to the organization. The singer won a Chrysler Crossfire sports car at the event, but she asked Chrysler if she could exchange it for a minivan so that the Casa Holgar Elim orphanage in Nuevo Laredo could use it.

Simpson had visited the orphanage as a child as part of her youth group mission, and it looks like the place is still near and dear to her heart, because aside from the minivan donation, Jessica has plans to auction off the sexy red dress she wore for her new Pizza Hut commercial to raise funds for the place. The commercial will air during the Superbowl, and the dress will be auctioned off on eBay.

When Mama Lupita (who runs the orphanage) was told that she was getting a brand new seven-passenger minivan from Jessica Simpson, she reportedly cried for three minutes straight and said “I can’t wait to give Jessica a big hug!’”
