Drake Has Donated $200,000 To Relief Efforts In Houston

As the need for financial help and support in Houston grows, celebrities are lending a hand.

A record breaking 1.2 metres of rain has come down within the past week, and the damage is extensive to say the least. Hurricane Harvey’s devastation has cost the lives of 25 people so far, with the number of injured and displaced growing rapidly.

Drake is the latest artist to donate, posting this on his Instagram account this morning.

Ellen DeGeneres has pledged $1,000,000.
