Did you know that Harry Styles has helped send strangers to therapy? Well, sort of.
As People reports, a woman named Elena Kilgore started a line of charity merch in 2021 called Other People Fund, with the goal of using proceeds to pay for therapy sessions for those who can’t afford them. The name comes from the slogan printed on the t-shirts and totes: “I think we should see other people — and by other people, I mean therapists.”
So what does that have to do with Harry? Elena told People that when she was designing the merch with a graphic designer, she described her vision as, “I want it to be something Harry Styles would wear.” That led her to contact his stylist, Harry Lambert, to share the designs, noting the singer has always been pro-therapy.
Soon after, she heard back.
“I had a DM, a message on my website, an email, all of these message,” she said. “It was Harry Lambert and he said, ‘Do you ship to the U.K.? I want to buy a shirt. How do we get a shirt? This is awesome.'”
Elena sent him two shirts and a tote, which Harry was later spotted carrying, bringing attention to the brand. As a result, Elena said, sales went through the roof.
“We did around $40,000 in sales, so Harry like is singularly responsible for hundreds of people being able to go to therapy,” she explained.
According to Elena, all proceeds go toward funding therapy through her nonprofit, Support for the Psyche. Most applicants receive an average of three therapy sessions.
So far, she said the initiative has funded 1,300 sessions through merch sales.
