Campbell Donates Her Fee to Hurricane Victims

Supermodel Naomi Campbell is donating her entire earnings from upcoming New York Fashion Week to aid the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The Brit is heartbroken by the scenes of devastation in the U.S. and has decided to donate all her catwalk fees to the American Red Cross.

Campbell is offering her services to any designer who agrees to donate her salary to the relief effort in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.

She also is encouraging her fellow supermodels to follow her lead and donate their earnings.

Campbell says, "It's awful to see what happened and watch grown men crying on TV because they have nothing left.

"When I'm looking at this, it's like I'm looking at Africa or anywhere else in the world but here. It made me think about what I could do to help.

"There was no way I could walk the runways this week and just keep my rate.

"It would be fantastic if everyone joined forces to give what they can."

Campbell has links to New Orleans, La., which was caught in the eye of the storm -- her first fashion shoot took place there.
