    Jennifer Lopez, actress, singer and mom of twins, Maximillian David and Emme Maribel, now 14 months will never forget the night she and husband Marc Anthony discovered a lump on daughter Emme’s head. Emme and twin brother Max were only 3 weeks old at the time. It was the worst nightmare for every parents.

    “We both got very nervous, very very nervous, and I just remember my heart sinking to my feet,” Lopez recalled at last night’s Noche de Niños gala benefit for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). “I looked at [Marc] and I said, ‘You know if anything happens, I’m not going to be OK, you know that, right?'”

    Lopez and Anthony rushed Emme to Children’s Hospital, where she underwent a battery of tests, including an MRI. “Luckily, in the end,” Lopez said, “she turned out fine.”

    But it turned into something more for the hospital…

    Shortly after the scare, the singer-actress joined forces with CHLA to form the Maribel Foundation to help provide pediatric medical services to the less fortunate.

    “I started to wonder,” Lopez said, “what if I couldn’t afford a doctor or receive the medicines, the procedures?”

    Lopez also debuted a new song last night, which she wrote for her twins. A recording of the ballad was played during a video highlighting the Foundation’s work. In it Lopez sings, “Let’s keep this time for us and make it last as long as we can. It’s already going too fast.”

    Bravo, Jennifer, you are very caring about other family, especially the unfortunate ones. Hopefully everything runs well and right.
