LEGENDARY HIP HOP ARTIST NAS ,HELPS TO RAISE $30,000 TO A HOMELESS SINGLE FATHER WITH 8 KIDS…#B.BRAVE

Stanley Young, a now single father of 8 in Washington D.C, has gone through some enormous losses in the last year. After losing his wife after she passed away last year, he became the sole provider of his 8 children, and then recently losing his home to a fire, he had no choice but to relocate to a hotel with his children. Being an unemployed construction worker, With his deadline to leave the hotel being 08/13, with no funds and no place to go, the unexpected happened. Legendary Hip Hop artist Nas was in Washington D.C at the time and came across a news report on ABC 7 discussing Mr. Young’ s situation.” Thank you to ABC for putting this on our radar so we know about this,” said Nas to ABC7’s Jenny Doren in a phone interview from Japan. “We just knew we had to do something, That “something” is now inching towards $50,000 for the eight kids who lost their mother one year ago. Their father, an unemployed construction worker, is desperate for a permanent roof over their heads””I’m grateful to Stanley,’ continued Nas. “He’s the true American dream. A man who would do whatever it takes to take care of his kids. I’m the same way and I just think he’s great , I am also a single father, and we don’t get enough credit in this country….I believe and hope that we should all, as a community, come together to help our fellow American men and women when they need us in desperate situations like this”. Nas Immediately created a Campaign in efforts to help change Mr. Young’s life and help to get him into a more stable environment for his family. Nas Stated of the Campaign “This is real. It is me. I’m putting in $5,000 myself. Never done something like this, but I have faith that our American community can pull together a miracle for this strong family who needs our help right now. If we can get to the $20,000 goal, I’ll put in another $5,000 too.”

Amazing is not a word strong enough! So often Hip Hop gets such a bad rep for their lyrics and the persona people feel its portrays, But not often enough are the positive efforts even exposed!
