Iga Swiatek displays a class act
In one of her most recent Instagram posts, Swiatek disclosed how she helped a family in need by providing them with a 'Noble Package'. She went on to emphasize the great value of being healthy.
"This year, for the second time, we have prepared the Noble Package for one of the families in need. When I read their story, from which I learned about the serious illness of my dad and one of their daughters, I had a lot of difficult emotions. Health is the greatest value that we do not always have influence on..." wrote Swiatek
In the post, she also encouraged others to help people in need.
"You too can help those who are often lonely with their problems and lack support. I appreciate mine even more and that's why I want to share what I have. Everyone can do it to the best of their ability," added Swiatek.
