Mendes was in Mexico City during the earthquake while on tour. After witnessing the destruction firsthand, he decided to get involved.
“After seeing the impact of the damage firsthand in Mexico, I wanted to find any way I could to raise funds,” said Mendes in a press release. “So we reached out to the Red Cross and partnered with them to setup a way to help those affected by the earthquake.”
This campaign will raise funds on CrowdRise, a crowdsourcing site that’s part of GoFundMe. Mendes and his manangement company AG Artists already donated $100,000, and are counting on fans to help out further. You can attribute your own donation here.
