Lady Gaga pledges $1 million to Sandy relief

Singer Lady Gaga has pledged $1 million towards the hurricane Sandy relief efforts in New York City.
The pop star was devastated when Hurricane Sandy slammed her hometown last week, killing over 100 Americans and leaving millions with no water or electricity, not to mention the subway situation.
On Wednesday, the star declared she would donate the sum to the American Red Cross."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," she wrote, adding, "New York is relentless ambition, a drive to succeed, a place where there is a natural pursuit of diversity through compassion." She asked fans to accept the gift on behalf of her family. "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," she continued. "Thank you for helping me build my spirit. I will now help you rebuild yours. Sincerely, Lady Gaga and The Germanottas."
