Following
the destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy, Lady Gaga has given handsomely to
New York. The 26-year-old singer made a huge donation to the American Red Cross
Wednesday to help with the relief efforts.
“A letter and a gift to New
York and the American Red Cross,” Gaga tweeted Wednesday with a link to her
Little Monsters website.
“Today I pledge 1 million
dollars to New York & The American Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy Relief,”
she wrote in the heartfelt letter. “If it wasn’t for NYC: the Lower Eastside,
Harlem, the Bronx and Brooklyn, I would not be the woman or artist that I am
today.”
“New York is relentless
ambition, a drive to succeed, a place where there is a natural pursuit of
diversity through compassion,” Gaga added. “Please accept this gift on behalf
of myself, my parents Joe and Cynthia, and my sister Natali; with our deepest
gratitude New York for raising us. Thank you for helping me build my spirit. I
will now help you rebuild yours. Sincerely, Lady Gaga and The Germanottas.”
Gaga whose real name is Stefani
Germanotta grew up in Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
