Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, created a fundraiser to aid the victims of Hurricane Harvey one year ago with the modest goal of raising $200,000. Now, Watt has announced that his goal was blown out of the water with a total of $41.6 million in donations.
According to the Houston Texans website, the fundraiser was the largest crowdsourced fundraiser in world history.
“As I reflect on the events of Hurricane Harvey one year ago, the memories of destruction and devastation remain, but they are accompanied by memories of hope, selflessness and the beauty of the human spirit,” Watt said in a letter. “The actions of professional first responders and everyday citizens alike were an inspiration to the world and a shining example of the inherent good that lies within us all.”
