The famous rapper from Detroit has decided to stand up and help the victims from the recent hurricanes in Texas and Florida, Harvey and Irma. Many celebrities, including Justin Bieber, Beyoncé, J.J. Watt, Drake, and Ellen DeGeneres. Eminem and a Detroit based company called StockX have joined up to help raise funds for the relief. Some extra incentive to danate is that each person who donates in entered to win a pair of sneakers from a celebrity sneaker head, including LeBron James, Steph Curry, Pharrell Williams, Mark Wahlberg, and Eminem himself. The first $250,000 donated will be matched by Eminem and the Marshall Mathers Foundation.
You can donate to the campaign here.
1) Do you think celebs like Eminem use things like this to make themselves look better?
My answer- No, or at least not all of them. Some of them just want to help and have the means to do it. Others do use it to make themselves look better in the eyes of the population, but at least they help.
2) What could you do to help?
My answer- You could help by donating to any of the many donation foundations today. All it takes is a few dollars from a lot of people to make a difference.

Good story choice and summary but you didn't reply to any student comments, which is worth 20 points.
It would depend on the person some do it to make them look better others use their fame to actually help and get people to donate and some just donate to help. Try and raise some money to donate to the victims of the hurricanes.
Partially yes, I think it definitely does make them look better, but I think it has to do more with them just wanting to help using the position of fame that they have. I could donate to the Red Cross foundation or I could help gather supplies to ship down to Texas and Florida.
No, I don't I think that they are just stepping up and are doing the right thing, because if this happened where they lived they would want others to help them to. You could donate some money to the foundations.
1. Though many celebrities are just about the publicity, most are really here to help. They have a big enough name and enough power to really help the people in need, and have a lot of people that they can spread word to to help get money donated.
2. There are so many donation pages, drives, buildings, and many other things up that you could donate to. You could also set up your own fundraiser to help gather donations and send to Florida and Texas.
I think sometimes people do stuff like this to get relevancy. I don't know if he actually did that to gain relevancy but it may be a part of it. I think I could help by finding an organization and sending clothing items to them for them to give to people dealing with the problem.
No because sometimes being nice and caring to people is just a part of a person, actually caring shows people that they can lean on you in a time of need. I could donate money or create a food drive and send it down to people in need.
Some of these celebs are just trying to make themselfes look good for their fans and trying to get more supporters to come there way. They are doing a good thing for society but just doing it for there fame and looks.
Yes i think in part it is to make themselves look better as well as help those that need the help. to help i could also donate money.
I think that we can help by donating everytime places like restaurants ask if you would like to donate your change and also just by providing emotional supporty and caring for the people you know that have been effected.
