Hart called on Dwayne Johnson, Beyonce, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld and Justin Timberlake to donate money to the victims of the devastation in Houston.
</h2>
<p>After realizing how immense Hurricane Harvey&#39;s damage has been to the people in the Houston area, Kevin Hart took to Instagram for a sincere plea for donations to the Red Cross.</p>
<p>&quot;Serious moment right now,&quot; said the comedian, telling his fans that he was alarmed to hear about the severe devastation in Houston and the surrounding areas following record-breaking rainfall and flooding that came with the weekend&#39;s hurricane in Texas. &quot;This shit is unbelievable.&quot;</p>
<p>Hart said that people participate in a lot of internet challenges, both meaningful and meaningless, and he&#39;d like to start a Hurricane Harvey Relief Challenge by calling on his celebrity friends to donate $25,000 to the Red Cross for the storm&#39;s victims.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&quot;I think people are in bad shape, they need help,&quot; said Hart. He called on celebrities like Dwayne &quot;The Rock&quot; Johnson, Beyonce, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Justin Timberlake, Dave Chappelle, Steve Harvey and Jay Z to follow in his footsteps and donate $25,000.&nbsp;Hart later <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BYWr8w2D0fB/?hl=en&amp;taken-by=kevinhart4real" target="_blank">upped his commitment to $50,000</a>&nbsp;and called on more celebs to donate. Hart also launched a <a href="https://www.crowdrise.com/o/en/team/kevinhart" target="_blank">Crowdrise campaign</a> to raise money from people looking to donate funds.</p>

I am praying for the safety of all those affected. Houston has truly been a home to me over the last 8 years. Myself and @futuretheprince are working with local relief groups to aid and assist the people of Texas in anyway we can and in the most immediate way possible. I also want to thank all the men and women of service and volunteers for their courageous efforts to help people in need. I encourage everyone to do what they can to assist the people of Texas knowing whatever effort you can make to help will go a long way.</a></p>
