Dolly wrote:
"Thank you for all of the love on my birthday. This year my wish is a call for kindness. We can’t just hope for a brighter day, we have to work for a brighter day. Love too often gets buried in a world of hurt and fear. We have to work to dig it out so we can share it with our family, our friends and our neighbors. So today, January 19th, let’s get to unearthing love."
Dolly showed her kindness to humanity as the star gave her support and money to coronavirus research. Just after the COVID-19 crisis had been declared a pandemic, Dolly donated $1 million dollars to Vanderbilt University's research into the virus.
The university's research was directly involved in the development of the Moderna vaccine, which has had an incredibly high success rate against the virus.
The country singer's donation was vital in the latest attempt at combatting the virus that threw the world into its current health crisis.
The world is certainly lucky to have had Dolly Parton for a whole 75 years.
