Hurricane Harvey is undoubtedly a nightmare for much of the state of Texas. The authorities cannot provide enough to help the victims of this hurricane and there is little help in these situations. Apple itself with Tim Cook at the helm has donated 2 million dollars to help the victims for this natural catastrophe, but more is needed.
Apple's own website in the United States obviously has a specific section for making donations. Last Friday this category 4 hurricane made landfall and from that moment on it became a huge storm that flooded roads, highways, buildings and more.
In a tweet the CEO of the Cupertino company himself, asked for help and collaboration for Texas a couple of days ago:
Prayers for Texas and all those affected by #HurricaneHarvey.Join us in the relief effort by donating: https://t.co/QLBMFOjaDG

There is no doubt that the response from users is always exemplary and on this occasion only iTunes has collected the figure of 1 million dollars. To this figure must be added the rest of the donations from entities and companies such as Apple itself, which are really very important for Texas and those affected by this Hurricane Harvey.
Apple usually makes partnerships with the American Red Cross in these types of disasters and in this way receive donations that do not go through Apple, they go directly to those affected thanks to the distribution of the Red Cross itself. All users who want to can make their donations of: 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 or 200 dollars. These types of donations were activated by other disasters such as Hurricane Sandy or the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011.
