Hope for Haiti Raises More than 57 Million!


The international telethon Hope for Haiti, raised more than 57 million dollars, sources say.

Ever since the program aired last Friday, donation lines for the charity have been busy. The night of the program, celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Steven Speilberg were answering phones, and thanking viewers for their generous donations.

According to Pop Eater, " Haiti Mon Amour", the song performed by Bono, Jay-Z and Rihanna has become the number one single on itunes. The other songs are also available, and all the proceeds go to Haiti relief funds such as UNICEF, and Oxfam America.

Sources say that hundreds of donations are still coming in. What a success!
