					<p>Beyonce is the latest celebrity pledging to help victims of Hurricane Harvey, the category 4 hurricane that made landfall on Friday night in Texas.</p>
<p>&#8220;My heart goes out to my hometown, Houston, and I remain in constant prayer for those affected and for the rescuers who have been so brave and determined to do so much to help,&#8221; the pop star said in a statement to <a href="http://www.chron.com/news/houston-weather/hurricaneharvey/article/Beyonc-pledges-to-help-as-many-as-we-can-with-12074069.php">The Houston Chronicle</a> on Monday night. &#8220;I am working closely with my team at BeyGOOD as well as my pastor (Rudy Rasmus at St. John&#8217;s in downtown Houston) to implement a plan to help as many as we can.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.thewrap.com/tag/drake/">Drake</a> also took to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BYVP8q4DVVq/">Instagram</a> on Monday, saying he was &#8220;working with local relief groups to aid and assist the people of Texas in anyway we can and in the most immediate way possible.&#8221;</p>
