Football can be a sanctuary for most players, but there are still bigger issues that have more of an impact around the world. The Redskins along with Pierre Garcon and Ricky Jean Francois are sending supplies to the Bahamas to help the many victims that suffered from the damage of Hurricane Matthew.

Garcon and Francois are both of Haitian Descent so of course you would expect them to be willing to lend a helping hand. Garcon also posted a video on his Instagram account to show the donations that were headed to help the victims in Haiti.
It’s always good to see athletes, but people in general lend a helping hand during a time of need. Although this is a great start there is still more to be done to help Haiti rebuild after all that they have lost.
