Chrissy Teigen ‘in tears’ after friend’s kind gesture in honour of baby Jack

Chrissy Teigen has admitted she was left “in tears” after her friend’s kind gesture in honour of her baby Jack.

The former model and her husband John Legend shared their heartache last month after they lost their son, with Chrissy paying tribute to her baby by getting his name inked on her wrist. 

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the 34-year-old told her followers she was “overwhelmed by love”, after her friend Kimmie Kyees donated blood in honour of Jack. 

Chrissy wrote: “Ok, I tried writing this 4 times but the tears were too much. Here we go again, with my heart full of warmth and happiness.”

Ok, I tried writing this 4 times but the tears were too much. Here we go again, with my heart full of warmth and happiness. My friend @kimmiekyees sent me this with the caption “Me and 6 of my friends donated blood to replace the 7 pints you were given in the hospital, in honor of baby Jack. I love you friend 💛” . . Phewwwww the tears. I’m overwhelmed by our circle of friends. The love I feel for each and every person in our circle actually makes me ache. @kimmiekyees, I’ve known you for so many years now. You know every story, you hear every life gripe, you’re amazing at what you do but the way you treat my kids and family is cherished always. To do something like this for baby jack is just…I dunno. Beautiful. . . @kimmiekyees was told by the volunteers that donations were severely down because high schoolers are responsible for so much of the blood donated. Usually they’d get a coupon for an ice cream cone or a movie ticket, but without school in session, donations are down. I have a lot of friends who normally would donate from a special day at work, but alas, no work. . . Kimmie, I love you. I love this. I am so proud of the people I surround myself and my family with. 💨🍃🦋

Yesterday I was blessed to have 6 friends show up to help me put together a gift for my dear friends @chrissyteigen @johnlegend & thier beautiful family.. the 7 of us donated blood in honor of baby Jack !! What a beautiful experiance- I am so grateful for my amazing friends who helped me and donated !!! I learned alot about the process but most importantly I was told the blood supplies are low due to the pandemic. They have not been able to collect like they used to especially here in Los Angeles. I would like to challenge those of you who can.. to go out and donate where ever you live!! Encourage friends and family to come along .. going together really made the whole experiance so special and even fun !!!! Give the gift of life 🙂 #Idonatedinhonorofbabyjack There are mobile blood drives in cities all over !! Its safe and easy !!! Go to www.redcross.org/giveblood and enter your zip code or here in LA Cedars Sinai has a donor hot line 310-423-5346.. Together we can make a huge difference 🙂 Thank you in advance … can’t wait to see you smiling faces … PLEASE SHARE your contributions and encourage others to donate too !!! Oxoxoxox ❤
