Jake Paul Continues To Help And Inspire Hurricane Harvey Victims

Jake Paul is determined to help and comfort Hurricane Harvey victims in any way he can.

In his latest efforts to help those affected by the calamity, Paul recently agreed to meet a 9-year-old fan named Ace. According to Just Jared, Ace's dad reached out to the former Disney star so his daughter can meet the celebrity while he is still in Houston, Texas.

Paul and some of his Team 10 members immediately headed to Ace's home. The group helped the family with the demolition of the bottom floor of their house which had been damaged by the flood. Paul also met some of their neighbors and the firefighters who rescued the family.

Paul has been volunteering to assist the people affected by Hurricane Harvey since it hit the country on Aug. 25. According to Paul, when he learned about the devastating effects of Hurricane Harvey in Texas, he decided right away to head down to the state in order to help. "We drove straight through from L.A.," he told People.

His first stop was San Antonio, where he encouraged his 2.2 million fans to meet him at a local Walmart and bring some donations for the families affected by the hurricane. "I asked for water and diapers and other things I was hearing people needed at the shelters. We brought two U-Haul trucks with us and we were able to fill both those trucks. It was something like 33,000 [pounds] of supplies," Paul continued. "We dropped that off at the San Antonio Food Bank so that the people who are being sheltered there from Houston had what they needed."

From there, Paul drove to Houston and worked with first responders to assist people who were trapped in their homes evacuate as the flood water continued to rise. During the rescue operation, they help the people get medicine from their homes or reunite them with their families in the shelter.

The experience had been physically and emotionally draining for the celebrity as he revealed that they worked day and night to help as many people as they could. When he returned home, Paul gave fans an update on the calamity by sharing a video on his Youtube channel showing him and some of his fans and friends helping families.

"Jake Paulers made it to safety super exhausted super emotional don't really know what to make of this like whole entire thing but it's absolutely insane," he said in the video, before encouraging everyone to get involved in any way that they could.

In addition, Paul also set up a GoFundMe account that aims to raise $500,000. The money will be used to help the affected families in Houston. As of writing, the page has already gathered over $40,000.
