Both of Jennifer Lopez’s parents are from Puerto Rico, so when Hurricane Maria devastated the island in 2017, she stepped up to help. Lopez donated a generous $1 million towards relief efforts for Puerto Rico.

She also joined ex-husband Marc Anthony, who also has parents from Puerto Rico, in creating an alliance between artists, “SOMOS UNA VOZ” or “we are one voice”. The humanitarian effort brought aid to the residents to PR and also included Gwen Stefani, Bruno Mars, Mary J Blige and Stevie Wonder.
