Will and Jaden Smith are donating water to Flint
If Trump won’t solve the water crisis, then maybe the Smiths can Flint, Michigan still doesn’t have clean water.
Jada Smith is also close to the cause.
“Jada has visited Flint and met with the mayor,” CEO, Ira Laufer of JUST WATER said in a press statement.
“Flint is very dear to her heart.
After feeling uncomfortable with the number of bottles he saw floating around, he insisted that his family do something about the plastic debris destroying the earth.

Michigan State officials have said there have been improvements in Flint Water with steady reductions in lead levels, though it still remains undrinkable.
Along with the Smiths, other celebrities have pledged donations to Flint including Cher, Big Sean and Matt Damon.
Unfortunately, it’ll take more than a few celeb donations to fix the Flint water crisis, but we’re glad Will and Jaden are using their influence to raise awareness of the ongoing issue.
