Eva Mendes popped her selfie cherry with this cute Instagram pic.
But The Place Beyond the Pines star is not just your stereotypical self-absorbed celebrity jumping on a trend. This selfie is for a cause. If you direct your attention away from her beautiful dimpled smile you'll notice her shirt reads "Hopes and Prayers for Andrew Wilson."
Who ever said selfies were just an exercise in vanity? Mendes shows the only thing bigger than her smile is her heart by bringing public awareness to a young boy with cancer through her celebrity.
She posted alongside her pic, "This is my first selfie and it's for an amazing cause! Thank you all so much for helping support Andrew Wilson and his family. Please, please donate - any bit helps! I'm going to sign this tshirt and give it away to one person who makes a donation within the next 48 hours. Click the link in my bio to donate. Together let's help this family get their son the proper treatment that he needs. "
She also shared an adorable pic of little Andrew, writing, "This little guy, Andrew Wilson Wratten, is full of smiles, a ball of energy and VERY special to me. He has been undergoing treatment for neuroblastoma cancer. His family has spent the last year going through every parent's worst nightmare as they watch their little boy endure grueling treatment and they need our help. Please consider making a donation. Click the link in my bio for more info. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you in advance for your support of this precious little boy and his family."
Next time you pull out your selfie stick, maybe you could advocate for a great cause just like Eva!
