Rap legend Nasir Jones always seems to please his fans in the upmost positive way. Nas raised over $30,000 for a homeless family in Washington, D.C. after finding out they lost their home. Stanley Young, an unemployed construction worker and father of seven, recently lost his apartment in a fire. This tragic accident unfortunately put his family on the street, rendering them homeless. After hearing about the story from a Washington news outlet, Nas decided to take action setting up a fund through CrowdTilt, a site for people to donate for a worthy cause.
After making the first donation and asking his millions of followers on Twitter to donate, the page quickly raised the $20,000 dollars for the family of eight in less than a day. The funding continues to grow and has reached over $62,000.
For more information on how to donate to this family check out the campaign for HelpStanleyYoung.com.
