It's Not Too Late To Make It Right With Katrina Victims
Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Hey, nobody's perfect - even we miss a positive story here and there.  Brad Pitt started a national fundraising campaign effort before the holidays to help the city of New Orleans recover from Hurricane Katrina, starting with 150 homes in the Lower 9th Ward.  But here's double good news:  it's not too late to help!

The U.S. Government may not have properly helped all of the victims of Hurricane Katrina, which is a shame, but it's not too late for us as citizens to help our own.  The families of New Orleans need your help, and every donation is a contribution that will help rebuild homes for the families that lost their houses in the hurricane.


1. At MakeItRightNola.org, Brad's site for the Make It Right campaign, you can actually adopt a house to be rebuilt, and choose the items to donate to a family.  Just take a look, it's very cool!

2.  Open this homepage, and you'll immediately see a giant Brad Pitt talking to you on the screen - his video intro welcoming you to the Make It Right Campaign.  Knowledge is power, so go edumacate yourself about it!  (Yeah, I spelled it that way on purpose)

3.  Maybe you want more bang for your buck - or, your donation, in this case.  Well, Brad's signature newsboy caps are sold out on the site, but there are still unisex t-shirts, ball caps, and hot pink tote bags for sale, the proceeds for which goexclusively to building new Make It Right homes.

Brad Pitt isdefinitely not in this to make a buck.  No wonder we love them so!!  Go check it out, and help spread the word about the Make It Right Campaign!
