Ya'll @KyrieIrving just got me to my year end goal on the filter fund with his surprise donation. If 4 other celebrities would match his donation we would be at my $1M goal for my filter fund. Who wants to step up for this kid from Flint?

On the GoFundMe page, Copeny writes that her community has been without clean water since April 2014 and that they are still recovering.

Pretty sure the Flint water crisis was mostly solved years ago now. Theres certainly gonna be lasting effects, but at this point the water itself is safe to drink. Don’t really blame the people there who have trouble trusting that, but theres not much to help that. Regaining trust takes time.

So like if this charity is giving people peace of mind about their water, then sure sounds good to me even I think Kyrie is a nutjob.
