That’s Hot! Nicky and Paris Hilton and Friends Host 3rd Annual Young Hearts Friends Fest

By Caren Pinto, Communications and Media Relations Manager

On January 28, Nicky and Paris Hilton hosted the third annual God’s Love We Deliver Young Hearts Friends Fest at the Museum of Ice Cream, alongside host committee Nell Diamond, Sylvana Durrett, Stacey Bendet Eisner, Sarah Hoover, Alexandra Idol, Priya Shukla, and Dani Stahl, with special guest Diane Kruger.

The event, which helps support the work God’s Love We Deliver does to nourish New Yorkers, teaches children the joys of volunteerism, philanthropy, and caring for their communities, all while having fun.

Client Yvette and her baby, Angel

Because illness affects the whole family, God’s Love We Deliver serves not just our clients, but their children and their caregivers. We are committed to caring for our community’s families in this way.

We were thrilled to share the evening with two families from our meal program. And they had a great time in the sprinkle pool!

Yvette, mother of four, recently gave birth to baby Angel, after being on Healthy Starts, our meal program for people with gestational diabetes. We are proud to share that we have expanded this work to a Pregnancy and Post-Partum Program, where we serve pregnant and post-partum people living with gestational diabetes, pre-existing diabetes during pregnancy, and hypertensive disorders. Yvette largely credits God’s Love and our custom-designed meals with her healthy baby.

Fatoumata’s youngest child, also named Fatoumata, lives with sickle cell disease, as do her two older sisters, Oumou and Zeinab. The entire family receives our medically tailored meals, and the three girls are flourishing! Their doctors say that the nutritional meals they are receiving from God’s Love are making a tremendous impact in their overall health and well-being.
