Country singer, LeAnn Rimes celebrated her 35th birthday by raising money for the La Vita Bella nursing home in Texas.  The nursing home is the nursing home that went viral last week when a picture surfaced of residents stranded in waist- high water.

LeAnn Rimes asked friends to donate to a YouCaring fundraiser that will go to rebuilding the nursing home that was destroyed by Hurricane Harvey.  The fundraiser was set up by a friend of LeAnn Rimes’ hairdresser whose grandmother stayed at La Vita Bella and was affected by the flooding.

“Everyone has seen coverage on Harvey and its effects to Texas and Louisiana,” LeAnn Rimes said. “I was talking to my friend and hairstylist, who calls Houston home, about a devastating image that I came across and it so happens that the woman in the photo was his friend’s grandmother. So this year, instead of birthday gifts I ask you donate to his friend’s YouCaring account that will go directly to this nursing home and getting clean up/rebuild going as soon as possible. Thank you!”
