About time celebrities help out! An earthquake hits another country, and celebrities will donate millions. Over 200 tornadoes hit part of their own country, and they remain silent. I live in north Alabama and have been helping those who lost their homes search for things salvageable in the rubble... Thousands have lost everything. Way to go, taylor. And thank you.
