There is only one remaining survivor of the Titanic disaster alive — and Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, and Director James Cameron are making sure she’s comfortable.

The two actors have thrown their weight behind a fund that would subsidize 97-year-old Millvina Dean’s nursing home fees. She was only 2 months old when the Titanic sank beneath the waves on the night of April 14, 1912. Her father was one of the ship’s 1,517 casualties. She has been living at a nursing home in the English city of Southampton since she broke her hip about three years ago but has struggled to pay the fees.

“We are honoured to contribute to the Millvina Fund. Our hope is that others will feel inspired by Millvina Dean’s remarkable story of survival and hope she can rest easier in knowing that her future will become more secure through this fund,” DiCaprio and Winslet said in a joint statement. All three donated $10,000 each to the fund.
