Lady Gaga
has raised $1 million week for relief efforts for the victims of Japan's
earthquake and tsunami disasters, and she vows to continue.
She might be a rich girl, but Gwen Stefani is also a generous humanitarian.
On Wednesday, the No
Doubt singer, 41, donated $1 million to Save the Children's Japan
Earthquake-Tsunami Children in Emergency Fund to help with recovery
efforts in the devastated nation.
"I've been inspired by Japan for many years and have a true love, appreciation and respect for the
Japanese people and their culture," Stefani told UsMagazine.com in a
statement. "The disaster in Japan is beyond heartbreaking, and I want to
do anything I can to help. I would never be able to make a gesture like
this without the love and support of all the fans over all these
years."
In
addition to her donation, Stefani, who is mom to Kingston, 4, and Zuma,
2, is also encouraging her fans to contribute. Next week the L.A.M.B.
designer will unveil a limited-edition Harajuku Lovers T-shirt through
nodoubt.com, and all proceeds from sales will go to help in relief
efforts.
