It’s always great to see rappers giving back to their communities. Freddie Gibbs has intentions to help out the kids in his hometown of Gary, Indiana and is asking for help to carry out his noble plan. I know what you’re thinking… how much is he asking for? Find out after the jump!
Freddie Gibbs has began raising funds to help children in need of school supplies. The Indiana native isn’t asking for major corporate sponsorships or any major handouts. Gibbs is humbly requesting $3,000 to ensure that the kids in his neighborhood have the necessities they need for school. The Piñata emcee recalls growing up in Gary, Indiana and feeling little motivation to succeed in school.
“Growing up in Gary there was little opportunity for a kid like me to make something of myself,” he wrote on his GoFundMe page. Not having the basic supplies that every other kid in any other city had left a lot of us with little motivation to do well in school and turned a lot of us to darker paths. By helping these students aquire the basic supplies every student needs and deserves you will be maximizing their chances at a brighter future.”
Gibbs launched the official GoFundMe campaign for his new venture and has already raised $1,000. If you’d like to help Freddie Gibbs achieve his goal, check out the GoFundMe link and donate whatever you can. Watch Freddie’s brief request for donations below.
