Celebrities are doing what they can to support those affected by Hurricane Harvey!
As we’ve all seen, the category four storm brought unprecedented flooding to Houston after making landfall in Texas on Friday. As the area continues to get heavy rainfall and floodwaters rise, stars are using their platforms and resources to lend a helping hand to the millions of people affected by the natural disaster.
Kevin Hart, for example, started a campaign to rally his influential friends into donating — leading the charge with $50,000, which was met by Chris Brown with a $100,000 donation. Beyonc├â┬⌐, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, DJ Khaled, J.J. Watt, Jennifer Lopez, Alex Rodriguez, Kim Kardashian West, and Chris Young all got in on the action in amazing ways, too.

Former Bachelor, Sean Lowe, took things a step further by heading to Houston from Dallas with his boat to personally aid the families whose homes were impacted by the storm.
Take a look at some of the amazing pledges being made (below)!

As everyone knows, Texas was hit Friday by Hurricane Harvey which made landfall as a category four hurricane, the largest storm to hit the area in decades. Port Aransas, Rockport, Corpus Christi, Houston and so many other places are going to be dealing with so much damage and loss of life for a long time to come. I’m worried about the people there — my friends, family and neighbors — and I want to help. I’m starting this GoFundMe campaign in an effort to help everyone in Texas that has been affected by this hurricane. I’m pledging $100,000 to relief efforts and hope you will join me (link in bio).A post shared by Chris Young (@chrisyoungmusic) on Aug 27, 2017 at 10:16am PDT
$1 MILLION!!! New Goal: $1.5 Million. YouCaring.com/JJWatt #HoustonStrongA post shared by JJ Watt (@justinjames99) on Aug 28, 2017 at 7:25pm PDT
Today I had the chance to do what I could to help some people in the Houston area. I couldn’t believe the devastation. My heart broke for all the elderly who are immobile and the mothers trapped in their homes with young babies. But I was encouraged by the selflessness of so many Texans who came to help where they could. Definitely a day I’ll never forget.A post shared by Sean Lowe (@seanloweksu) on Aug 28, 2017 at 1:56pm PDT
