Haiti's Earthquake

Last night I sat down and watched CNN news on the earthquake that hit Haiti. I got devastated and sad. I couldn't believe my eyes on some of the things I was watching. It broke my heart to see children on the streets wandering around. Complete chaos! My prayers go to the people of Haiti, and that they have the faith to get up from the rubble and to start new again.
The thing that has me thinking though, is all the Twitter comments I have read. I see all these actors, singers, and wealthy people saying to text to donate $10 to the Red Cross for Haiti. They also say that they are sad and "why did this happen?" Please help Haiti. So how much did these wealthy actors and singers donate? Just ten dollars like most Americans? The Red Cross has raised around 8 million dollars from just text's from the American people. The only celebrities I have actually heard that donated 1 million dollars are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Tiger Woods is "considering" to donate 3 million dollars. Please? Why consider, if you have the money, just do it. Isn't that your motto? Regular American people donated at least $10 thru texting to the Red Cross, while, wealthy actors, and singers, are going to donate just their time on this telethon hosted by George Clooney? Please? Share your wealth. When you die, you won't take your money. I have nothing else to say, my prayers for the people in Haiti.
