Nag-donate ang aktres at fashion icon na si Heart Evangelista-Escudero ng ₱1.5-million sa Senate Spouses Foundation, Inc. (SSFI) bilang pangulo nito.
Sa isang Facebook post nitong Martes, Hulyo 30, ibinahagi ng Senado na galing ang naturang donasyon ni Heart sa kita ng pagbebenta ng hand-painted, vintage luxury bag mula sa kaniyang personal collection.
"As President of the Senate Spouses Foundation Inc., I consider it extremely important to personally contribute to the cause of the foundation. The mantle of leadership, as I have been taught, begins by having skin in the game and one must always have something to give," mensahe ni Heart nang i-turnover ang kaniyang cash donation.
Tinanggap naman ni SSFI vice president Special Envoy to the United Arab Emirates for Trade and Investment Kathryna Yu-Pimentel at Nancy Dela Rosa ang kontribusyon sa ginanap na seremonya sa Senado.

Samantala, nagpasalamat din si Heart, kasama ang iba pang mga opisyal ng SSFI, sa mga pribadong kompanya at mga indibidwal na sumuporta raw sa mga naging aktibidad ng kanilang foundation, kasama na ang kanilang relief operations.
"To all of our dedicated sponsors whose generous contributions have not only jumpstarted our initial operations, but also will keep us moving forward, you have made our foundation's work not only possible but also sustainable and truly impactful," saad ni Heart.
Matatandaang noong Hunyo 5, 2024 nang manumpa si Heart bilang pangulo ng SSFI, ilang araw matapos manumpa bilang Senate President ang asawa niyang si Senador Chiz Escudero noong Mayo 20, 2024.
