Madonna donates money to Detroit charities

Madonna has given money to three different Detroit charities.

The singer, who is originally from Michigan, recently visited her home city.

She was left "inspired" to donate money to local causes, including a youth gym and the Detroit Achievement Academy.

Madonna said in a statement: "I was deeply inspired by the efforts of so many people who I met who have dedicated themselves to helping the kids and adults in Detroit elevate themselves from the cycle of poverty.

"It was obvious to me that I had to get involved and be part of the solution to help Detroit recover. A piece of my heart will always be in Detroit, and I'm humbled to be able to give back to my community."

Madonna also donated to the The Empowerment Plan, which employs females in shelters to sew items for the homeless.
