The Julian D. King Gift Foundation is named after Jennifer’s late nephew, who died of multiple gunshot wounds in a family triple murder case in 2008. The foundation provides stability, support and positive experiences for children of all backgrounds to help enable them to grow to be productive, confident and happy adults.


38-year old Hudson took to Instagram to share:
