  TexansÂ defensive end J.J. Watt is starting a fundraiser to
  raise money for the city of Houston in the aftermath of Hurricane
  Harvey.
</p>
  <p>
  In a video posted to Instagram, Watt talked about how it was hard
  to watch the storm unfold on the news in the city he loves. "It's
  very difficult not only because we have family and friends back
  there â some guys have young kids, some guys have wives and
  families â but that's our city," Watt said. "It's very tough to
  watch your city get hit by such a bad storm and not be there to
  help. Not be there to help with the recovery, not be there to
  help with the process, it's very tough."
</p>
  <p>
  To help the cause, <a href="https://www.youcaring.com/victimsofhurricaneharvey-915053" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Watt has set up an
  online fundraiser</a> with an initial goal of $200,000 that will
  go to help the city rebuild.
</p>
  <p style="padding-left: 30px;">
    <span>Hurricane Harvey has taken a catastrophic toll on our great
  city, while leaving many stranded and in need of assistance. We
  must come together and collectively help rebuild the aspects of
  our community members lives that were damaged or lost. Any
  donation that you can spare, no matter how large or small, is
  greatly appreciated. We will come out of this stronger than ever.
  We are Texans.</span>
  </p>
  <p>
    <span>His fans and those concerned for people affected by the
  storm immediately jumped in to help, raising the $200,000 in the
  first two hours of the campaign. Watt tweeted out his thanks, and
  announced a new goal for the campaign. At the time of this
  writing, <a href="https://www.youcaring.com/victimsofhurricaneharvey-915053" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">over $337,000 have been
  raised</a>.</span>

  Speaking to the people of Houston at the end of his video, Watt
  said simply,Â "Stay safe. We're thinking about you. We're
  gonna come back, we're gonna help you out."

    <span>The Texans are currently practicing in Dallas and have a
