In a move that’s as generous as it is inspirational, Shakira is making headlines by donating a portion of her show proceeds to victims of the recent devastating floods in central Texas. The floods, which took the lives of at least 70 people and left numerous families scrambling, caught everyone off guard during the holiday weekend. Shakira reached out directly to her fans via social media, urging them to join her in supporting the relief efforts through Catholic Charities of San Antonio. Talk about using your fame for good!
As if we needed another reason to love Shakira, while performing in San Antonio, she offered heartfelt prayers and support for those affected, sharing a link for donations. It’s the kind of star power that inspires everyday heroes among us, right? Meanwhile, in a twist of fate, a dozen children from Camp Mystic are among those missing, a sad reminder of just how serious this situation is. Thankfully, one camp counselor did confirm all her campers were accounted for—phew!
