By Wednesday afternoon 225 people ave lost their lives, according to NBC News. The tragedy comes on the 32nd anniversary of Mexico’s deadliest earthquake in modern history in 1985.

“The people of my country have now suffered three natural disasters in a row,” said Hayek on her CrowdRise campaign. “Many children and families are hurt and in terrible need. I’m contributing $100,000 now to UNICEF which has teams on the ground responding.

Please join me and contribute what you can and thank you.”
