West Virginia has struggled since the natural disaster that killed 23 people and injured countless others.  Brad Paisley has been helping his home state and i think it's incredible when someone puts their money where their mouth is....

The country music star launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for the relief effort, starting with his own $100,000 donation.  “Now that the waters are receding it’s time to pitch in and help in any way we can,” Paisley writes on the page.

Brad says his goal is $1 million and he is using social media and his concerts to promote this great event.  This reminds me of what Kenny & Randy Owen did for Alabama 5 years ago.  Kenny Chesney/Alabama donated ALL concert earnings in Tuscaloosa to Tornado Recovery efforts.  Please send thoughts and prayers to West Virginia cause many of them prayed for us back in 2011 I'm sure.
