How to donate to NotreDame restoration
A website facilitating donations to the restoration of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, France, has crashed after proving unable to cope with a flood of contributions prompted by Monday night’s devastating fire.
But the fire inflicted “colossal damages” on the famous church, Deputy Mayor Emmanuel Gregoire said. French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to rebuild the parts of the church destroyed. The president said he would call on the world’s “greatest talents” to help. While the Friends of Notre Dame website grappled with unprecedented traffic, two French billionaires also pledged millions to help rebuild the cathedral. François-Henri Pinault—the chairman and CEO of the Kering group who is married to Salma Hayek and thought to be worth some $24 billion—said in a statement he would give around $113 million to “completely rebuild Notre Dame.”
