Gwen Stefani donated $1,000,000 on Wednesday to Save the Children’s, Japan Earthquake-Tsunami Children in Emergency Fund, to help in the relief and recovery effort. “I’ve been inspired by Japan for many years and have a true love, appreciation and respect for the Japanese people and their culture,” the singer said in a statement. “The disaster in Japan is beyond heartbreaking and I want to do anything I can to help.
I would never be able to make a gesture like this without the love and support of all the fans over all these years,” Stefani added. A limited edition Harajuku Lovers T-shirt designed by Stefani will be available next week through a website, with all proceeds going to the relief efforts in Japan. A charity auction is also being organized where fans can bid on the chance to join the singer at a special fundraiser in Los Angeles.
