After the recent natural devastation in Mexico and Puerto Rico, stories like this one really help to aim our focus on the positive. Actress and philanthropist, Salma Hayek recently raised $400,000 in earthquake relief for Mexico. Wow, incredible. It warms my heart to hear stories like this. She created a CrowdRise page to support Unicef's relief efforts donating $100,000 of her own money.
Salma Hayek Raised $400,000 for Earthquake Relief
Other celebrities have reached out to help raise funds for Mexico and Puerto Rico, including my friend JLo who is urging her followers to donate to the efforts made by Beatriz Rosselló at UnidosPorPuertoRico.com She still hasn't heard from her family down in Puerto Rico and is headed to New York to join her close family right now. My heart and plenty of prayers go out to my friend.
Hopefully, with enough donations we can help raise money for Puerto Rico in the same way Salma did for Mexico. The people of these countries need our help. We don't know when disaster will strike so it's times like these where we need to unite and give a hand to our brothers in need. Please donate.
