You can always count on Rihanna to get involved in any humanitarian crisis in the world.
The Bajan pop star is teaming up with the likes of Fat Joe and TIDAL to send cargo planes loaded with supplies to hurricane ravage Puerto Rico. There have been a lot of outcry from people living on the island and their families living on the mainland U.S. for help after Hurricane Irma wrecked havoc across the entire island at category 4 strength.
TIDAL is one major company that has gotten involved in the crisis and is teaming up with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Empire State Relief and Recovery Effort to send needed supplies to the citizens of the island and everyone in Puerto Rico is affected. “As the humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico grows, our brothers and sisters are desperate for our help,” the company said in a statement. “Please join Governor Cuomo and TIDAL as we collect and transport much-needed supplies to the island. The goal is to fill and send as many cargo planes as possible.”
Rihanna has reportedly donated a large sum of money to the cause and is encouraging her fans on social media to donate whatever they can. “If you have even the smallest donation, you can help save lives!” she tweeted. Fat Joe also donated and added his voice on social media to bring more attention to the crisis.
