"Now that the waters are receding it's time to pitch in and help in any way we can. One of the best ways I have found that hopefully will raise the largest amount of money the quickest and get it to the people in need the fastest is through GoFundMe. I have set a goal of $1 million -- this is doable and only a small portion of what is needed. Join me as we help West Virginians together," says Paisley.

"We couldn't be more pleased that Brad Paisley is working with the GoFundMe community to help victims of the recent devastating floods in West Virginia," said CEO Rob Solomon. "We hope the online community rallies around Brad's campaign to give comfort and relief to West Virginians in need."

The GoFundMe community has a history of coming together in the aftermath of natural disasters. Donors raised over $1 million for those impacted by the Fort McMurray fires in Canada. Over $1 million dollars was raised for the victims and their families of the earthquakes in Ecuador in April, and $7 million was raised on GoFundMe in the aftermath of the Nepal earthquakes.
