So while watching and enjoying the beautiful people of Hollywood spill their hearts and their wallets I got to thinking: We all expect the rich and famous to donate their fair share to charities like this. They do make far more money than most can even fathom so it's these too-rich-for-their-own-good people that should donate, right? Right.
I sit here, in my unemployed-20 something-recent graduate-pants, thinking of how little I have. Then I slip back into reality, turn off my Wii and text my boyfriend with my fancy cell phone saying that I need to donate to the Hope For Haiti telethon.
As little as I may have, there are people with literally nothing. Anderson Cooper is throwing the faces of innocent and injured children in my face while Jennifer Hudson serenades America and those suffering with a beautiful rendition of Jon Lennon's "Let it Be"; these children no longer have families, homes or food and water.
If Leo Dicaprio's $1 million donation and George Clooney's whole telethon can inspire other celebrities to help, maybe my little contribution can inspire those, like myself, that don't have a Titanic sized income.
