Jhene Aiko Launches WAYS Foundation, Donates $15K

Jhene Aiko is giving back BIG this holiday season and plans to continue to do so through her new WAYS Foundation.

The “While We’re Young” singer announced her new foundation on Christmas Eve, in honor of her late brother, Miyagi– who passed away from cancer at an early age.

Five-year-old Lilly Olive of Eagle Rock, Ca. was first to receive a holiday surprise.

Aiko visited the young girl at her home and surprised her with a $15,000 check to help with medical bills!

We love it!
