Justin Bieberis continuing to help deserving fans.
On Friday, the 25-year-old surprised college student Julie Coker, 22, and left speechless after presenting her with a $100,000 check to use toward her work as a mental health activist.
According toBillboard, Coker is the president of Active Minds at Stockton University, a nonprofit organization that advocates for mental health awareness.

“I work for mental health now because of my own mental-health struggles in the past,” Coker, who was recently diagnosed with depression, told theNew York Post. “And it’s important for us to talk about mental health because more than 50 percent of us will have a mental health challenge in our lifetime.”
“He was wonderful. He’s so sweet and kind,” she toldBillboard. “I said, ‘Congratulations,’ because he got married to Hailey, and he asked me about my mental health story, and I told him that.”
Coker added that she plans to use the money toward grad school at Monmouth University as well as for donations to the Active Minds organization.
Bieber’s philanthropic act comes shortly after premiering his “Intentions” music video which features him and rapper Quavo — who Bieber worked with back in 2017 on the DJ Khaled song “I’m the One” along with Chance the Rapper and Lil Wayne — making dreams come true for three struggling women.
Bieber gifts Bahri with a new car so she won’t have to worry about getting to class, Marcy’s family with backpacks full of supplies, and Angela with studio time so she can spread awareness about homelessness in an artistic way.
“Picture perfect, you don’t need no filter/ Gorgeous, make ’em drop dead, you’re a killer,” Bieber sings in the chorus. “Shower you with all my attention/ Yeah these are my only intentions.”
The new track joins two previously released singles off ofChanges, “Yummy” and “Get Me” featuring Kehlani. Prior to “Yummy,” the pop star had not released a solo single in four years.
