The PSA shows how even the smallest donation can make a difference to those affected by the devastating January earthquake.
John’s song, “The Heart of Life,” serves as the soundtrack and contains optimism in the lyrics: “Pain throws your heart to the ground, love turns the whole thing around. No, it won’t all go the way it should but I know the heart of life is good.”
