On Tuesday, Baby Bash, Slim Thug and his nonprofit, Smoke Shield, donated 1,000 bottles of hand sanitizer to bus drivers and police officers in the Houston area. On April 15, the group plans to donate an additional 1,000 bottles of hand sanitizer. Furthermore, Slim Thug hopes to donate bottles of hand sanitizer to health care workers as well.
“I want our police officers and bus drivers to know that we appreciate their service during this tough time,” he said.
“They have always been a huge part of keeping Houston going,” he added.
This news comes amidst the growing COVID-19 pandemic that has impacted over 1.5 million people globally. Last month, Slim Thug battled the virus head on.
“[COVID-19] is serious and it can be deadly, but at the end of the day, if you’re young and healthy and don’t have any other underlying conditions, then you should be able to fight it off. My doctor shared how the only thing you can do is stay home and let it run its course,” he said.
As of Saturday morning, more than 500,000 were diagnosed with the virus. Thus far, 18,777 have died and 29,191 have recovered.
