Oscar-winning actor Jared Leto donated $5,000 to two young Utah children injured when their stroller was struck by a car, and he’s encouraging others to do the same.

Leto tweeted that he donated the money to a GoFundMe account for Griffin and Watson Peachey, who were seriously injured on Oct. 8. Their mother, Brighton, was pushing their stroller in a crosswalk near 1850 E. Sego Lily Drive when she and her children were struck by a car. Three-year-old Griffin suffered a skull fracture and a broke collarbone; 18-month-old Watson suffered a broke neck, broken pelvis and a lacerated kidney.
