Jennifer Lopez announced on Sunday that she would personally be donating $1 million to relief efforts for Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. The reveal came as the actress made a surprise appearance alongside New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, as he and other elected officials publicized the launch of a statewide donation drive to aid to the ravaged nation. “Today Puerto Rico needs our help,” J.Lo, who is co-chairing the effort, told the Javits Center crowd. “My cousins and I and all of our family still haven’t been able to hear from all of our family over there, we are concerned for them and for everyone on the island.” Lopez added that she and superstar boyfriend Alex Rodriguez are now using their sway to “garner support for Puerto Rico and Caribbean relief efforts.”
