OlderBrad Pitt Greenlights “Make It Right” Project
Actor-activist Brad Pitt announced more details of his affordable housing “Make it Right” project for the Hurricane Katrina-ravaged Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans on Monday’s Today show. The first of at least 150 environmentally friendly homes will be ready by next summer.
On putting his money where his mouth is after pledging $5 million toward the reconstruction: “This area where we’re standing right now, they lost over 5,000 [homes]. I’m hoping we can expand over to the rest of New Orleans. There’s no reason why we need to stop here. It’s just going to be if we can get the financial support to make up the difference people need to return to their homes.”
On asking for money to make it happen: “This is an adopt-a-house campaign. I’m asking for foundations, for high net-worth individuals, for church groups, for corporations to come in to adopt a home. Basically, $150,000 will get a family back in their home.”

When you donate Brad comes on and thank you for helping! When you print out your receipt his signature is on the page with the Thank you for your donation. This is as close as I will get to Brad too far away to go to a RC event. LOL, maybe I’ll drive over to NO.
He is really a great guy! And by the way very good looking!! Troy is on tonight on AMC.
Brad should sell “Make It Right ” tee shirts. I would buy one!!!Love how Angie plays with Mad to make him smile! I’m sure he is proud of his daddy!
Brad is amazing. Brad is the type of man every woman tries to get. You can see in Angelina’s smile that she knows what she has as Brad knows what he has.
Our government should be ashamed for what’s not happening in New Orleans. Two years after Katrina and the place is still in shambles. If we were not involved in Iraq and wasting billions of dollars (not to mention lives) New Orleans would have never been in this position in the first place.
George Bush wonders why his popularity is low, here’s one huge reason. He’s to busy playing with the rich to take care of our poor and neglected AMERICANS. The disaster of KATRINA was a natural one but what’s followed is a GWB disaster and he should be so very ashamed.
Get your thumbs out of your ass and do what’s right and what’s long over due from this administration.
The likes of Harry Connick, Wynton Marsalis and Brad Pitt are what it’s taken to get the attention back on the citizens of N.O..
I looooooooove you brad :)
