Leonardo DiCaprio has donated $1 million to relief efforts in Haiti, earning the admiration of President Clinton, who said in a statement, "I am grateful for the generous gift Leonardo DiCaprio and his Foundation have made in support of our Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. Combined with the outpouring of donations from Americans and citizens around the world of all means, this support will go a long way to help save more lives, reach more people with emergency assistance, and help the Haitian people build their nation back stronger and more secure than it was before the earthquake."DiCaprio's donation, made through the Leonardo DiCaprio Fund, was intended for both immediate relief efforts and long-term redevelopment of the earthquake-damaged country, according to his reps.

Mr. DiCaprio is in a class all of his own. His generosity will return to him three times over. I truly believe this. Many more should think about this the next time they pick up and drink from a clear glass of water and then crawl into their warm beds at night after their home alarm is set.
Thank you for caring and support for Haiti. God Bless You!

Glad to hear your high fiber diet is working.
I applaud this generous donation and the work of his foundation, however, though I know the plight of the Haitians is devastating, I wonder why American celebrities have not seen fit to reach out and help the American people who are suffering and have been suffering due to the recession, lost jobs, crashing housing and financial markets...those American people by whose favor their fortunes have been made.

you are so right.there are million people here at home who need help.Yes those people do need help,but why are ameicans not helping out americans ?
I agree with you Cindy! What about this country and our own people.
Where were these telethons and concerts and celebrities when Katrina devastated New Orleans and the rest of the south? I don't remember a damn one of these for those people.
Sorry, I help my own first
Yes, while I applaud the help now to Haiti, I wonder why these liberal "stars" aren't "generous" enough to give away their wealth and REDISTRIBUTE IT right here! That would be putting their money where their mouth is! I think they should have only double, maybe triple what a typical American working stiff gets. Instead they are keeping hundreds of times the amount of money we typically make. Why do they want us to redistribute money we that we need for our families more than they need the extra money for themselves?
Dear Cindy,
AMEN!
And who says they haven't? Just open your eyes and look around. You people are so short sighted!
My thoughts exactly!
Decaprio has set the bar! Now imagine if every famous actor and actresss and musician followed through with that donation or more. They can afford it!!! Most make Millions for only one movie or one good hit song! And imagine what it could do for some of thier reputations?
