It’s always the tough times that show us the good in in society. In the wake of the catastrophic damage that hurricane Harvey caused, celebrities and citizens have come together in person and online to help ease the pain and rebuilding process.
The latest supporter is late night comedian Jimmy Fallon, who took to his show to help dedicate a special moment to the victims and heroes. Along with a donation of $1 million dollars to JJ Watts ongoing relief fund from The Tonight Show, Fallon also brought out a Houston choir to sing “Lean On Me” in honor of those affected.
