In an effort to pay it forward, “Holy” partners Justin Bieber and Chance the Rapper announced that they’re donating $250,000 to fans who are struggling during the pandemic.
The pair said they’ve partnered with Cash App “to give away a total of $250k to those affected by these hard times.”
In parallel social media posts, the singers asked fans to share their stories and enter for a chance at the cash by dropping “your $cashtag & use #JBChanceHoly.” Bieber has been saying that “Holy” is the start of a “new era” and while he hasn’t announced any other pending music, the charitable effort has already resulted in some inspiring stories shared by fans, including one who said their house was destroyed by Hurricane Laura.

I am so so grateful for you two. I am having a hard time paying my bills during these times. I also have school tuition that I am trying to manage. Anything would help. I love you both. $MorganBalderas #JBChanceHoly

I was laid off from my job the beginning of the pandemic, and due to underlying health issues that i suffer from it would be unsafe for me to work and put others at risk right now so my bf and I have been struggling to make ends meet 🙁 🙏🏻💙#JBChanceHoly $ Alicatxox6 pic.twitter.com/egtYimkbEy
