While many are bracing for Hurricane Irma, we have barely begun to deal with the effects of Hurricane Harvey. The devastation has left thousands displaced, homeless, and some even dead. With an estimated $70-$200 billion in damages, Texas residents have a long way to go in their recovery. One of the areas hit hardest by Hurricane Harvey is Houston, Texas. Celebrities have been pouring in support for Texas, donating their time and money to aid in its recovery. Houston’s own Beyonce has coordinated with her home church and her BeyGood Foundation to provide relief to Harvey victims.
While Beyonce is not one to flaunt her charitable contributions, she was quick to lead the charge for her hometown.
Not only is she putting her money where her mouth is, but she has braced the still inclement conditions to return home and give hope to those suffering.

“Houston is my home. And I thank God that y’all are safe, that your children are safe. The thing that really matters is your health and your children, and your families. I just want to say I love you. I’m so thankful to God that I’ve been blessed so that I can bless other people, and I ask for you to continue to do that for other people”
How can you not love her? Always so gracious, she reached out directly and met with victims.

Her words of support were much needed during this difficult time. It’s going to take years for Houston and Texas as a whole to recover from this hurricane. It’s never too late to “BeyGood”. To donate to Beyonce’s relief efforts, visit her website and contribute what you can.
