Due to this gratefulness, Rebel decided to once again donate to the organization and this time, she has donated seven digit figures. After attending Australian Theatre for Young People’s aptly called Rebel Theatre in Sydney, she has announced that she will be donating a whopping $1 million towards the organization.
