<p>Since making landfall late Friday, Harvey has caused catastrophic flooding that has left homes destroyed, highways submerged, countless stranded in wait of rescue, and at least 10 dead, according to <em><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/28/us/hurricane-harvey-texas.html">The New York Times</a></em>. Beyoncé’s <a href="https://www.beyonce.com/beygood/">BeyGOOD</a>, a philanthropic organization founded in 2013, partners with global charities to offer necessities such as housing, food, and medical assistance to those in need.</p>
<p>With emergency dispatchers overwhelmed by rescues and <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2017/08/28/heartbreak-texas-harvey-drive-30-000-shelters-fema-says/607224001/">tens of thousands displaced</a> in shelters, many have spoken out in support of Texas and encourage donations to various relief efforts. Drake has announced his work <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BYVP8q4DVVq/?hl=en&amp;taken-by=champagnepapi">on Instagram</a> with local relief groups, while Kevin Hart <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2017/08/28/kevin-hart-donates-25-000-challenges-beyonce-jay-z-rock-aid-harvey-victims/607577001/">donated $25,000</a> to the <a href="https://www.redcross.org/donate/hurricane-harvey?">Red Cross</a> and urged celebrities like Justin Timberlake and JAY-Z to make similar contributions. Harvey has caused billions of dollars worth of damage so far. With water levels <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/28/us/harvey-houston-texas-louisiana/index.html">still rising</a>, FEMA Administrator Brock Long said Texas will most likely require “one of the largest recovery housing efforts the nation has ever seen.”</p>
