Trae Tha Truth has once again stepped in to help the people of the city of Houston, coming to the aid of those who have been affected by the latest round of deadly storms.
NBC News is reporting that more than half a million people in Harris County, TX — the home county of Houston — remain without power as of Saturday (May 18) due to last week’s spate of high winds and driving rains, which have left seven people dead.
