My apologies go out to anyone who thought the latest Hello Kelly announcement and video were of poor taste. We should all obviously give to the Haiti initiatives FIRST & FOREMOST.
Hello Kelly has always done our very best to be transparent, respectful, respectable and humble. Our vision is to encourage, empower and challenge Kelly (our listeners) to sink their teeth into life ... To think about what they believe, to chase their dreams fervently and to stand up for those who aren't able to stand up for themselves.
If you've been a fan or supporter of the band for a while, you hopefully know that our intention was not to push the tragedy in Haiti out of anybody's consciousness'. It's important that we dwell there and feel their pain and mourn with them, and again, help however we can. That's what I think, anyway.
Hello Kelly has an empty bank account, so we're searching for other ways that we can do our part. In the meantime, Hello Kelly definitely encourages everybody to also do whatever YOU can. If it's giving money, then please give money!
The reason I asked fans and friends to support Hello Kelly financially is simply because if we don't get help within the next month, it's likely that Hello Kelly might have to look at disbanding. I know that, in the big picture, having one less rock band in the world isn't going to hurt anybody. And if it's God's timing for something like this to happen, then that's what needs to happen.
But we made the video because we want to continue helping people. If you feel called to help Hello Kelly financially, PLEASE, only help Hello Kelly after you've supported whatever Haiti initiatives speak to you. I had hoped that this would go without saying, but please forgive me for not being more clear in the original announcement.
Thank you all for understanding!
francy from HELLO KELLY

I am a new follower of your journal and I feel your empathy for Haiti. I also know that in rough times it is important to look up and that is the direction your music focuses me.
My thought is that there was alot of effort and soul searching that went into your call for help video. I found it entertaining sincere yet light hearted.
Timing is not going to be perfect when mans hands are in it and I know you guys are believing the Lords call is on your lives.
I can testify that through your music God has become closer to many friends and family who matter to me. The venue you present tells us that God is compassionate and unfailing.
There will always be a worthy cause that is heavier that ours, but our God is good....I say OUR GOD IS GOOD!! And if you don't ask you won't get.
Thats my take on it, so be transparent, those of us who love you know your heart is only to advance the kingdom with the obvious talent the Lord gave you.
