If you haven’t heard by now, For McMurray (Alberta, Canada) has been devastated by a forest fire that is still going on right now. Thousands of people in the area are losing their homes and their belongings to this crazy fire and even some are losing their lives! WWE Stars Tyler Breeze and Kevin Owens have decided to raise some money for their fellow Canadians. As of writing this, they have already raised over $22,000 dollars.
Here is what they posted on the GoFundMe page.
“Last week, the community of Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada, was ravaged by a forest fire that still rages on as I type this. Thousands of people lost their homes and everything they owned and had to be evacuated. A few even lost their lives. As I watched the footage on the news, I decided I wanted to try and help. It turns out I wasn’t the only one thinking that because fellow Canadian Tyler Breeze was also trying to figure out how to help these people. So today, we come togeher in hopes of being able to raise money to help the victims of the fire get back on their feet. All the proceeds from this campaign will go to the Canadian Red Cross. Once the campaing ends, we will post a screencap of the donation on Twitter to prove that all the money donated went exactly where it belongs.Today, Tyler and I are each donating $100 to start things off. Everyone who matches our individual donations ($100) will get a personal video message from Tyler and I. Just include your e-mail address with the donation.Everyone who gives anything at all will get a follow on Twitter from both of us as a thank you. Just include your Twitter handle with your donation.It’s not much but this is about giving to those in need of help and with the crazy schedule we keep, it’s the best we can think of. We appreciate any help we can get with this campaign. We set the goal at $30,000 but I’m sure we can smash through that together and make a difference in the lives of people who could really use some help at the moment. The campaign will end on May 22, the day of WWE Extreme Rules. Please, if you can, donate. If not, RT and share this on your social media. Any help at all is truly appreciated.
Thanks everyone! K.O. and Breezy (that’s right, I call him Breezy. Deal with it!)” (Source: GoFundMe).
