Hurricane Harvey, a category 5 storm, has ravaged the populous city of Houston, Texas and it's surrounding area. Families are in desperate need of supplies, shelter, and many will no longer have homes when all this is over.
When disasters happen, it's up to the rest of us to help out in anyway we can. Just a few days after the storm, many celebrities have stepped up to do their part. They each donate different amounts of money, but the sentiment is the same. Everyone who isn't affected by the horrible natural disaster should be doing whatever they can.
