J.J. Watt's Fundraiser Total For Houston Flood Relief Tops $37 Million



J.J. Watt's online fundraiser for Houston flood relief officially ended on Friday evening.
The total amount raised? $37,131,967

Watt posted a message to the crowdfunding page to thank everyone for their generosity:"There are not enough words to thank you all for your generosity. If there is one thing that I have taken away from these last few weeks, it is the reassurance of how much good is out there in our world. When times are the toughest, humanity stands at its strongest and you have all helped to prove that emphatically. On Friday, Sept. 15 at 5 p.m. CT, we will complete the fundraising portion of our efforts to dedicate our time to ensuring every dollar is put to work for the people in the devastated areas in and around Houston. There are many places you could have donated your hard-earned money and I’m honored you have chosen to join this effort to support the people who were affected most by Hurricane Harvey. Please keep this spirit of helping one another alive. The world is a better place when we all take care of each other."
