JENNIFER Lopez has
revealed her heart- breaking visits to dying
children.
The stunning actress and
singer has been paying secret visits to Los
Angeles' Children's Hospital for more than a
year.
The diva, renowned for
her demanding behaviour, said she found the
experience humbling.
Lopez, 35, said: 'I
don't like to do my charity work in public -
that's not what you do it for.
'It was just amazing to
see all these kids being so strong - being eight
years old, having cancer and knowing that your
possibilities are not endless, but still waking
up and smiling every day.
'You start out wanting
to help, and you wind up learning and growing -
it puts things in perspective.
'It's made me realise
how blessed I am, how lucky I am and taught me
what real strength is.'
The Maid In Manhattan
star has forged a string of friendships with
cancer-stricken youngsters.
And J-Lo told US
magazine Latina: 'It's an important thing that
no matter how much money you have, you can go
someplace if your child is sick.
'And that somebody is
going to say, 'I am going to do the best that I
can to make sure your child recovers.' 'That is
why I do this.'
