Sandra Bullock made a donation Friday of $1 Million to Doctors Without Borders Emergency Operations for Haiti Earthquake relief efforts.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) received a $1 million donation from Sandra on Friday.
The actress made the donation to support the organization’s emergency medical operations responding to the devastation caused by the Jan. 12 earthquake that struck Haiti.
“I wanted to ensure that my donation would be used immediately to meet the needs of the Haitian people affected by this catastrophic event,” Sandra said.
Currently, each of MSF’s existing three medical facilities in the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, have been partially damaged.
Patients are being treated under tents in the Pacot area of Port-au-Prince in front of what was La Trinité trauma hospital and MSF rehabilitation.
These makeshift facilities have treated more than 2,000 patients and MSF is now focusing its attention on expanding its surgical capacity.
There are 25 new MSF staff members, including additional surgical teams, expected to join the organization’s 800 international and Haitian staff already working there today.

Sandra,
Bless You, you are simply one of the good guys (gal). If all the actors/actressors would do that, Haiti could rebuild. Thanks for your great donation.

Sandra, you are an inspiration. I will make some more contributions at my much tinier level. You are great.
God bless you, Thanks for your donation.
God bless you, Sandra! Your donation certainly goes into good cause. Also Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie donated $1 million to Doctors Without Borders. I hope that tomorrow – Jan 17 – the actors would mention the Haiti earthquake in their speeches and give their support to the good cause.
That’s an unselfish act, and a huge sum of money from an individual, not that she can’t afford it, I’m sure. No more stupid TELETHONS (I’m looking at you, George Clooney), with rich millionaire celebrities preaching to the average Joe to pledge…more people like Bullock. People, who can afford to make huge donations such as this without flinching. Shows true character and empathy.
Completely agree with Sam and my admiration for Sandra Bullock, as a person and as an actress, has just skyrocketed!
God Bless you, Sandra
God bless you, Sandra
