Shakira has stepped up to support Texas flood victims, pledging a portion of her San Antonio concert proceeds to Catholic Charities of San Antonio. The region was devastated by flash floods over the holiday weekend, leaving more than 75 people dead and several missing, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n
The Colombian pop star arrived in San Antonio on July 5 for her Las Mujeres No Lloran tour stop at the Alamodome, a rescheduled show following earlier stage issues. Upon landing, she shared a heartfelt message on social media, expressing sorrow over the tragedy: \u201cI just landed in San Antonio, and I\u2019m devastated after hearing the news of the floods, the deaths, and the young girls that are still missing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Just before taking the stage, the 48-year-old artist posted again, announcing her donation and directing fans to a link where they could contribute to relief efforts. \u201cDear San Antonio, our hearts and prayers are with those affected by the flood in Central Texas,\u201d she wrote. \u201cWe are donating a portion of tonight\u2019s show proceeds to Catholic Charities of San Antonio.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the show, Shakira dedicated her performance to the victims, saying, \u201cI want to dedicate this concert to those no longer with us.\u201d A wave of silence swept the crowd as she urged them to hold their loved ones closer and emphasised unity in times of sorrow.<\/p>\n
Shakira’s swift response to local tragedy highlights her commitment to using her platform for more than entertainment, offering real-time help to those in need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shakira has stepped up to support Texas flood victims, pledging a portion of her San Antonio concert proceeds…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":46408,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[27378,5229,26154,8621,36077,36078,7202,36076,7203,27377,358,33124,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-46407","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-alamodome","9":"tag-america","10":"tag-catholic-charities","11":"tag-donation","12":"tag-flood-relief","13":"tag-las-mujeres-no-lloran","14":"tag-san-antonio","15":"tag-san-antonio-concert","16":"tag-sanantonio","17":"tag-shakira","18":"tag-texas","19":"tag-texas-floods","20":"tag-tx","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-united-states-of-america","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114812918347443993","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46407"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46407\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
