Athletes are stepping up in a big way for hurricane relief efforts. JJ Watt raised an incredible $37 million for Houston after Harvey and now Tim Duncan is raising money for his country as well.
As Americans, we get caught up with our own and fail to realize the other nations around us. As Irma was set to hit Florida, it hit the Caribbean before that. We tend to forget them but they need all the help they can get.
Tim Duncan, who’s from the Virgin Islands came out and asked us to help him with relief caused by the Hurricane.
Since then, he’s delivered 60,000 pounds of food and has raised $3 million.
