Nas leads the charge in raising $20,000 for Stanley Young and his eight-person family left homeless by a fire in Northwest Washington D.C.
After hearing about a Washington, D.C. family who lost their home, Queens, New York star emcee Nas is taking action. The Def Jam Records artist learned about the family of Stanley Young, an unemployed construction worker in the U.S. capital city, who lost his apartment above a grocery store after a fire. The eight-member family is currently living in a hotel, with funds soon running out. After Nas caught wind of the news from a Washington ABC affiliate, he took action.
On Twitter this morning, the "I Can" writer tweeted this morning (August 8) "I was moved by the sad story of Stanley Young - father of seven, now homeless." He continued, "Help me give his family a miracle."
