John Mayer Donates $500K to Haiti

John Mayer has leant a helping hand to the people of Haiti by giving a sizeable donation to the American Red Cross. John matched ex Jennifer Aniston's amount by donating $500,000 to support relief efforts.

He also donated the song “The Heart of Life” to the Red Cross public service announcement. It serves as the soundtrack and contains the lyrics, “Pain throws your heart to the ground, love turns the whole thing around. No, it won’t all go the way it should but I know the heart of life is good.”

Gail McGovern, president and CEO of the American Red Cross, responded to John’ generosity by saying, “Terrible times like these bring out the best in people, and we are grateful for every gift given to the American Red Cross. We thank John Mayer for his generosity – he’s lent his time, talent AND money. With his help and that of so many others, we’ll do everything we can to help the people of Haiti cope and recover.”

giagirl, even though you and others may be out of work and are struggling, you live in the U.S. and have more opportunities than most people. Just curious, have you seen the destruction caused by the earthquakes in Haiti? If not, you should Check it out on youtube.com or something.

Just like an unemployed idiot - don't help the people who have lost almost their entire nation. Help me! Help me! What's wrong giagirl, are your hands broke? Oh, that can't be, you were able to type your message. Do your legs not work anymore? Oh, let me guess... There's no work for you to find in your industry? OR are you just too lazy to really put the effort into finding a way to make money? You obviously found the internet, I guess there's nothing you could possibly do there that could make you money. Lazy people make me sick! giagirl get off the GIMME GIMME track and learn to earn your keep - any way you have to that's legal!
