STRANGER Things star Millie Bobby Brown joined with Sun readers to help our Earthquake Appeal total to climb to £850,000.
The British actress, who stars as psychic girl Eleven, in the Netflix smash made a generous donation to our appeal in aid of the Red Cross’ urgent on-the-ground work in Turkey and Syria.
Our big-hearted readers continued to donate in their droves yesterday along with some of Britain’s businesses.
Steve Parkin, a former coal pit miner who set up a “man and van” business in the 1990s and grew to become £1 billion enterprise Clipper Logistics, donated £100,000 to the Sun’s Red Cross fund.

Mr Parkin told The Sun “I’ve seen the harrowing scenes and devastation caused by the earthquake on the Turkey and Syria border and wanted to help in whichever way was possible”.
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023
EG Group, the petrol station empire owned by Zuber and Mohsin Issa, who also own Asda have also pledged £100,000 and a further £25,000 from employees.
Ocado Group, the grocery technology business, is also giving £25,000 to The Sun’s appeal.
We launched the appeal in the wake of the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.
The Red Cross have been supporting the search and rescue mission as well as providing much needed aid to survivors.
The Turkish Red Crescent has already served nearly one million hot meals, dished out 340,000 bottles of water and nearly 30,000 blankets.
British Red Cross Chief Executive Mike Adamson said: “The scale of destruction caused by these earthquakes has been devastating.
“Your donations will help search-and-rescue missions on the ground-and provide vital aid to those who need it most.
“We thank Sun readers for your kind support. Anything you give makes a difference."
