Freddie Gibbs Is Raising Money for School Supplies

New father Freddie Gibbs is looking to help the youth in his hometown of Gary, Indiana. The rapper recently launched a GoFundMe page with the goal of raising $3,000 to donate to the School Supply Giveaway of Gary (SSGA) to help underprivileged kids get the necessary school supplies for the upcoming academic year. Gangsta Gibbs posted a quick video on YouTube to make the announcement and recalled his childhood when he saw other kids who couldn't afford books and pens struggle through class. "I remember I used to go school with guys who couldn't afford notebooks, pens, paper; the necessary tools needed in order to survive in school," said Gibbs. "It's a lot of kids in Gary who are at a disadvantage without that."

The GoFundMe page is already close to hitting its goal after just three days and should smash the $3,000 mark. "Growing up in Gary there was little opportunity for a kid like me to make something of myself," wrote Gibbs. "Not having the basic supplies that every other kid in any other city had left a lot of us with little motivation to do well in school and turned a lot of us to darker paths. By helping these students aquire [sic] the basic supplies every student needs and deserves you will be maximizing their chances at a brighter future."

Big shoutout to Gibbs for taking the initiative to help these kids!
