Ludacris has done something, well, ludicrously generous.
The rapper and actor has dipped into his bank account and pulled out $50,000 to aid victims of the Philippines typhoon. "Typhoon Haiyan has hurt so many people," he said in a statement announcing his donation to The mGive Foundation, which is distributing money to five nonprofits, including the United Nation's World Food Programme.
Ludacris is asking the rest of us to do something a little easier on the wallet.
"If we can give what we are able to help the families who have been devastated by this tragedy, we can all make a difference," said Ludacris. "You don't need to be an entertainer to help. You just need a mobile phone. Please text AID to 80108 to make your $10 donation to help our neighbors across the sea get back on their feet."
Added the star: "The world is made up of many voices, but we are one community. By making a text donation, we are a community of action, helping our fellow world citizens in their time of need. Suffering knows no borders. Our charity and compassion can stretch across the sea. It's simple - you use your celLphone every day. If you can, use it today to make a $10 donation to help the people of the Philippines now when they need it most."
