Jessica Simpson swapped her Chrysler Crossfire she won at last year's MTV VMA to a minivan and give it to Casa Hogar Elim, a Mexican orphanage.
Jessica Simpson has donated a van to a Mexican orphanage.
The actress-and-singer gave the vehicle, which can seat eight people, to the
Casa Hogar Elim orphanage in Nuevo Laredo, which she visited in 1999.
The 26-year-old star won a sports car at a swag suite at last year's MTV
Video Music Awards but she asked to swap it for a minivan so she could help
the orphanage.
A Chrysler spokesperson confirmed: "Instead of the Chrysler Crossfire, she
decided to get a minivan for the orphanage instead. She went for the
Chrysler Town and Country."
Mama Lupita - who runs the orphanage - reportedly burst into tears when she
heard about the gift, and admitted she'd "love to hug Jessica".
The van will be delivered to the orphanage next month.
Jessica is also auctioning off the red dress she wears in her new Pizza Hut
advert on eBay. All proceeds from the sale will go to Casa Hogar Elim.
The source added: "The orphanage means so much to her. She wants to help
Mama Lupita and everyone there."
