Infinite Skillz hasn't added a story.
Many of you know me as the Hip Hop artist Infinite Skillz. Most of my
family just calls me Jeremy. But this is not a crowdfunding effort for
my next album or video shoot or touring effort. In fact, this really
isn't about me. This is about my Uncle Ben and Aunt Kathy.
My uncle and aunt live in Houston. Hurricane Harvey hit and
they thought they were going to be ok, but they ended up with four
feet of standing water in their house. They evacuated last minute to
a shelter and literally just made it out with the clothes on their
backs. They are gutting most of the house they had just remodeled
because of mold and water damage form Hurricane Harvey. They've have
had to find a place to live in the meantime.
Uncle Ben is an employee of the United States Postal Service where he has worked for more than three decades. He and Aunt Kathy have been gracious hosts for many family gatherings and it is heartbreaking to know that this simply won't be possible this holiday season.
I've struggled for months on how best to be of service to them.
Part of my issue is I know a lot of people are struggling these
days and I feel somewhat selfish asking for help knowing others are
less fortunate. I reached out to my friends/fans for advice and they
overwhelmingly said that I might be letting my own issues get in the
way. Their advice was to simply ask for help and let others decide
if the cause was worthy of their generosity. So that is what I'm
doing.
As you can see from
the picture, they are going to need a lot of work done on the house
before they can move back in. The money we raise will be given as a
gift to him this Thanksgiving break to aid him in those efforts The
rest of the family and I are pitching in to help and if you'd like
to contribute, I'd be forever grateful.
Help us help Uncle Ben.
