| Lady Gaga came alongside the five living, former U.S. presidents for an important cause last night: hurricane relief. As a surprise performer and speaker at the One America Appeal relief concert held at Texas A&M University, Gaga shared a message of unity and resilience which she echoed in an Instagram post.
She wrote in her one of many posts supporting the concert, "It was an honor to be invited by these five living Presidents to perform and speak at this historic event where we put our differences aside, and put humanity first in the face of catastrophe."
The donations from the One America Appeal, $31 million and counting, will go straight toward helping the victims of hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria which have caused catastrophic damage to Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Prior to the fundraising event, many of the former presidents – Barack Obama, George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter – shared messages of support on social media to create awareness and promote the event. George H. W. Bush tweeted that he was, "Pleased to join these friends, distinguished leaders helping our fellow Americans." 42nd President, Bill Clinton, expressed his pride in being apart of the relief effort tweeting, "As Americans, we lift each other up." While acknowledging the devastation caused by the natural disasters, George W. Bush shared on his Instagram that he believed it also "brought out the best in humanity."
Originally meant as a relief effort for hurricane Harvey, the event was extended to aiding in the recovery from Irma and Maria late last month. |
