For ‘Young Old Schoolers’ Who Aren’t Familiar With Carl Thomas, Here’s A Quick Breakdown>>>

The post Prayers Up For Carl Thomas As He Recovers From Emergency Surgery appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

After former Bad Boy Records crooner, Carl Thomas, posted video online of himself being rescued by boat from his Houston, TX home after Hurricane Harvey hit, many fans were wondering what happened next with him and his family. He was rescued on Monday (Aug. 28th) and had unplugged from social media ever since.

Today (Fri. 9-1) he’s resurfaced online in an oxygen mask and a protective coverall suit, as he stood outside his flood damaged home. During the midst of he and his family salvaging what they can inside their house, Carl took the time to offer some of the best advice we’ve heard all day regarding Hurricane Harvey donations.

In case y’all haven’t heard by now, one of the biggest organizations, Red Cross, has just gotten blasted in the media, after news spread that they’ve been paying their company and employees far more of the donators’ money, than they’ve reported in the past. After recently learning that for the 2010 Haiti earthquake, in which they collected $500 million to aid survivors, but only built 6 permanent homes and kept $124 million for vaguely specified ‘administration fees and expenses,’ folks are now weary of donating their money.

Therefore, Carl Thomas has now suggested that donators find a Hurricane Harvey family or individual to sponsor directly. That way we’ll know they’re getting the money we donate to them. See his message below…

As a New Orleans, La. native, who lived through Hurricane Katrina in 2005, I understand firsthand how doing what Carl has suggested, would be extremely helpful to those in need. There is so much red tape, paperwork, long waiting lists, etc. that the victims already have to deal with- in the midst of losing so much- that just to get basic necessities, like diapers, food, sanitary items, clothing, etc. Whatever anyone can send to a ‘Hurricane Harvey’ victim(s) in need right now, greatly helps. Also, there are many charities that are still conducting business on the up and up, so we don’t need to abandon all of them, it’s just great to have other options as well.

Tips To Find Hurricane Harvey Victims To Help Online:

1. Contact Houston (and surrounding cities) shelters, churches, etc. and ask the volunteers there to put you in direct contact with a person(s) in need.

2. Search for random residents on social media who live in Houston, Port Arthur, TX and the other affected areas. See if they’ve posted something about their Harvey circumstances, or if others have recently left a comment on their page regarding being a victim of the hurricane. Then send a message to them that you would like to send them a donation.

3. Search the hashtag, #hurricaneharvey on social media and see if posts from victims appear, then send them a message that way.

These are just suggestions and if y’all have any more suggestions on how to get in touch directly with a Harvey victim in need, please share that info with us on our Facebook page to spread the word.

Former Bad Boy Records singer, Carl Thomas (45), who’s best known for his many hits like “Summer Rain,” “I Wish (I Never Met Her),” and more, had to be evacuated from his home in Houston, TX amidst the catastrophic devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. Thankfully he and his family are safe and unharmed, but their home is another story. At this point it is not clear what degree of damage his property and neighborhood sustained, but one thing is clear, they had to call for help and be rescued by boat. *Scroll down for video of his evacuation*

Watch Carl Thomas’ Rescue Evacuation

Carl posted a video online of himself as he was being evacuated. In his video he asked for everyone to pray for the city of Houston, TX and he also held his head high, while assuring everyone that things will ultimately be okay:

“I’m evacuating…y’all pray for Houston. But…I’m not really worried ultimately because I know that whatever happens, it’s gon’ be alright…it’s gon’ be alright.”

See what else Carl had to say in his video message below…

It’s SO sad to see what the people of Texas are going through right now and our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Houston and the surrounding areas that have been affected by Hurricane Harvey. The images of the aftermath are very reminiscent of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, La. nearly 12 years ago, where thousands of people died in the wake of the hurricane. FYI: Thousands of New Orleans natives have also become permanent residents of Houston, TX ever since being evacuated there during Hurricane Katrina and many of them are now reliving the same devastation all over again.

Thankfully, the death toll from Harvey is far less severe, but still sad nonetheless. A total of 5 people so far have reportedly lost their lives and hundreds more are still waiting to be rescued.

Via MSN: “If we don’t begin releasing now, the volume of uncontrolled water around the dams will be higher and have a greater impact on the surrounding communities,” said Col. Lars Zetterstrom, Galveston District commander of the Corps.

This young brotha’s daddy had a few hits in the late 90’s and early 2000’s that were heating up the airwaves. The ladies loved all of his jams and they are still being played on grown folks radio stations today. He and his dad damn near look like twins, so if you look closely at the photos of this singer’s son, you may be able to figure it out.

Here’s one more hint before you check out the pics below to see who he is: His dad was affiliated with another entertainer who is still very relevant in the music game today. Okay let’s see if your guess is on point or not, find out who he is below…
