Lady Gaga will deliver comfort to three cities devastated recent mass shootings.
The "Bad Romance" singer will provide funding for 162 classrooms in Dayton, Ohio; El Paso, Texas and Gilroy, California.
"My heart goes out to those who were taken from us too soon and to their families, loved ones, and communities who are left to grieve. Everyone has the right to laws that make them feel safe in their communities. In this moment, I want to channel my confusion, frustration, and fury into hope. Hope that we are there for each other and for ourselves," she wrote on Facebook on Friday.
