MILEY WILL SELL HER DRESS TO HELP HAITI

Miley, like many other international artists, is worried about Haiti and the tragedy going on there.

That’s why Miley is doing everything she can to help. She is going to sell the beautiful dress that she wore to the Grammy Awards to help fund reconstruction in Haiti. The dress will be for auction on eBay and all the money raised will go to Red Cross.

Miley knows that the situation in Haiti is very serious and that the island will need long-term assistance. She said, “It’s about seeing how we are going to be able to help for many years, starting now. The whole islands needs to be rebuilt.”

In this act Miley is a real role-model and other artists and musicians should follow her lead. As a star, they can use their fame to raise awareness.

How much do you think the dress will go for?
