Travis Scott is on a mission to heal the pain Texans are enduring since the Astroworld tragedy and yesterday’s mass shooting that left 21 people, including 19 children, dead.
The rapper Scott is determined to turn the pain caused into a blessing and heal the world. His raffle of custom Nike AirMax shoes on Tuesday raised millions of dollars in under 30 minutes.
Travis announced he is donating the money gained from his new Air Max & Cactus Jack collaboration to Project HEAL. The philanthropist said he originally made the shoes for his family but would instead use them to raise funds. Project HEAL was established to address challenges facing youth from marginalized and at-risk communities. These include communities such as Uvalde, Texas, where an 18-year-old gunman murdered 21 people, 19 of whom were children, at The Robb Elementary School. The school, located just under 300 miles from Scott’s Houston hometown, is almost 90 percent Latino and low income.
HEAL also vows to” address the country’s skyrocketing mental health crisis – and focus much-needed resources to support services for young people, especially in lower-income communities of color, many of whom have few available, accessible, affordable mental health options.”
Travis Scott’s Utopia On The Way
