Wednesday, 9/6/2017 - Massive
Contribution
Watt posted the updated amount on
Twitter on Wednesday, noting Charles Butt, owner of the San
Antonio-based H-E-B supermarket chain, pledged $5 million to the
campaign.
Monday, 9/4/2017 - As of today's update of this article, the amount of donations
total over $19.1 million, and J.J. Watt has used this
money to purchase supplies and those supplies from his warehouse
starting going to victims of the flood yesterday.
Since this article last ran last night (Sunday, 9/3), over $1
million was donated to this fund!
I want to also acknowledge that Amazon has donated vehicles
for transportation; Walmart has given $1 million to the cause
thanks to the work with Ellen.
A local Richmond, VA radio station host's brother pulled
together pet supply donations that was supposed to fill a 24
foot trailer that he owned - and ballooned into at least three
tractor trailers donated by the COX transportation company in
Virginia and there could possibly be more donations to fill
other trucks. |
