On Tuesday, a devastating 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit Mexico, taking at least 273 lives. Now, Shawn Mendes is hoping to help the community as it begins to rebuild.
The 19-year-old performer has started a CrowdRise campaign to help those affected by the natural disaster. According to Billboard, Shawn and his manangement company AG Artists have already donated $100,000 himself. As of Friday afternoon, over $130,000 has been raised. The money will go to the Red Cross to help them send volunteers, supplies, and other help.
"On September 19, a powerful earthquake shook Mexico and caused devastation in ways that hard to comprehend," he says in a video shared on Twitter promoting the campaign. "I partnered with Red Cross and made an initial donation that I hope inspires people to do the same."
