Gianna Floyd has been receiving support from the public, including Disney stocks from Barbra Streisand and a college education from Kanye West.

Since the death of her father, Gianna Floyd has received an overwhelming amount of support from the public. P.K. Subban, NHL star, recently stated that he would be donating $50K to the six-year-old. Entertainment icon Barbra Streisand came forward with a gift, as well, as she gave Gianna shares of Disney stock. It was also recently announced that Kanye West planned on funding Gianna's college education, and it looks as if Ye and wife Kim Kardashian West came through because Gianna Floyd thanked them on Instagram.

"Thank You Kanye, Because of You I Will have a college Education... Mommy and I are so thankful for you and your family @kimkardashian . #justiceforgeorgefloyd," reads the caption. In a previous post, she thanks Barbra Streisand, as well. "Thank You @barbrastreisand for my package, I am now a Disney Stockholder thanks to you 🥰🥰🥰."

In an interview with ABC News, Roxie Washington, Gianna's mother, spoke about how her daughter has been dealing with the absence of her father. "She didn’t have to play with nobody else ‘cause daddy was gonna play with her all day long," said Roxie. "I mean, that was his baby. He loved his little girl.” Check out the posts to Kanye West and Barbra Streisand below.
