Hurricane Matthew is about to ravage the southern coast of the US – and it’s already caused massive amounts of death and destruction in Haiti. While we’re all having fun at Big Show tonight (no shame in that, of course) our friends and family in the Southeast are either evacuating or hunkering down for one of the worst hurricanes they’ve ever seen. This hurricane will be deadly – but even if people evacuate their homes and lives will be swept away with the storm. This will likely be one of the most devestating natural disasters our country has seen in years.
So – how can we help?
Donate, donate, donate. Take the money you were going to spend on that handle of Svedka for Big Show and donate to hurricane relief funds. You won’t have a hangover, and you’ll feel a little bit better about yourself. To make it a little easier for everyone, we’ve compiled a list of places where you can donate. All you have to do is click through.
