On June 23, a devastating flood hit West Virginia, killing over 20 people and displacing dozens more from their homes. WWE superstar Heath Slater is from the Mountain State, and now he is doing his part to help out those who were affected by the tragedy.
Slater took a trip down to Clay County, West Virginia on Thursday with the intention of doing what he could to help the community rebuild.

Slater was also profiled by WVVA, and he said he was just trying to help lift people up during this hard time.
“To me, it was just heartbreaking to see the pictures, and knowing that I had the time off to come up here and try to put some smiles on kids faces and uplift some people…I think I can help too.”
Good on you, Heath.
