OlderAngelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Support Victims of Haiti Earthquake
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie expressed their deep sorrow on Tuesday night (January 12) over the widespread loss of life that occurred in the Haiti earthquake earlier in the day.
“We are devastated by the news from Haiti,” the couple said in a statement to JustJared.com. “We will work closely with our good friend Wyclef Jean to support the humanitarian efforts on the island and help those who have been injured and left without homes and shelter.”
Wyclef released his own statement on how YOU can help: “Haiti today faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the country has ever experienced. The magnitude 7.0 earthquake – and several very strong aftershocks – struck only 10 miles from Port-au-Prince.
“I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone. We must act now.
“President Obama has already said that the U.S. stands ‘ready to assist’ the Haitian people. The U.S. Military is the only group trained and prepared to offer that assistance immediately. They must do so as soon as possible. The international community must also rise to the occasion and help the Haitian people in every way possible.
“Many people have already reached out to see what they can do right now. We are asking those interested to please do one of two things: Either you can use your cell phone to text “Yele” to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund (it will be charged to your cell phone bill), or you can visit Yele.org and click on DONATE.”

the jolie pitts are ALWAYS giving back

@Lynn:
You are heartless. Hope you never need help.
Brad and Angie have been helping in Haiti for years.
Unlike you piece of filth they care about people in need.
Of course Brad and Angie lead the way in efforts to help.
.
Kudos to their continued relevance and generosity in a world overrun with frivolity and self indulgence.
Good for you, Brad and Angelina.
God bless this couple’s efforts.
Love this couple. Thanks for your support B/A! Those sweet people sure need help. I texted-hope others do to.

I hope the whole world is alerted to this call out for help.

You, on the other hand, can drop dead.
whats the deal? they are trying to bring more people to the cause the scenes on cnn look crazy I hope Haiti gets all the help they need.
The picture Jared used is one from when JPs were in Haiti w/ Wyclef. The stories on the news about the earthquake are just tragic- so much devastation…everything from orphanges to hospitals. Brad and Angie are wonderful people- always willing to help.

angie and brad are like angels, espacially angie, she helped so many people and tried to make their life better… she is an amazing gorgeous woman, so sweet an kind. love angie her family and everyting she is doing for poor people…
I find some of the comments regarding this devastation unprecedented, especially when it comes to human suffering. This natural disaster has affected hundreds of lives in Haiti, and all the ignorant comments can focus on is being vicious where the Jolie-Pitts are concerned. Human suffering affects us all. Haiti may not be your country, but the devastation is fully overwhelming. Come on people, live your lives with a purpose. Help others!
Brad and Angie are inspirational, always at the forefront when it comes to giving back, quick to help those in need unlike one ugly horseface who is self serving and vain, never donates cash unles it is an old worn out bag.
@Lynn:
People are totally totally tired of skunks like you.
Earthquakes can happen anywhere with no notice, many poor people are trapped under pancaked buildings.
I so agree with groundcontrol as to you.
So glad they stood up to help. The world would be better with more stars like Brad, Angie and Wyclef.
Haiti is in distress and all Jen fans like Lynn can do is play a stupid triangle game while people are dying? Sometimes I think Jen fans are a big embarrassment to her.
Why don’t you guys send a text. It’s for a good cause.
May God continue to bless Brad and Angie and their children. Love you.
FYI:
Jolie is on the board of advisors for the Yéle Haiti Foundation, and with Brad Pitt took time to help Wyclef Jean with his Clean Streets project. Jolie also arranged a deal with People Magazine allowing them to print the FIRST picture showing her visibly pregnant in exchange for a $500,000 donation to the charity.

Golly…3 whole comments before the trolls ruined the thread. They’re slacking…somebody call Huvane and tell him to get X a refund.
love them and we should all help.
All My comments on this thread are waiting for moderation. I said I will not ever post here again, I will look elsewhere like others. I was lurking and noticed that someone else is posting unfriendly remarks about the jp and are using the same name that I was using but in lower case letters.Hey, that is still fine with me if that what allowed on this thread. I will forever love the Jolie/pitt family and I will certainly send a donation. PEACE!
