This week marks the one year anniversary of the JJ Watt Foundation's kickoff to raise money for those effected by Hurricane Harvey.
The JJ Watt Foundation, with the help of millions of people, raised $41.6 million dollars.
According to Watt's statement, here is where the money has gone:
"In the past year, those funds have been used to repair and rebuild houses, allowing people to finally return and once again have a place to call ‘home’. Those funds have restored and rebuilt childcare centers so that parents can once again have a place to take their children where they know they will be safe, so that they can return to work and resume a sense of normalcy. Those funds have provided millions and millions of meals to people who weren’t sure where their next meal might be coming from after being devastated by the storm. And those funds provided physical and mental health care to those who suffered from the events of that awful weekend one year ago. "
