Akon, Busta Rhymes and the Kid Rock Foundation have contributed and supported raise more than $20,000 for the nonprofit organization by Music industry veteran Shanti Das, "May WE Rest in Peace," to help poverty-stricken families in Detroit, Michigan, who can't afford to bury their loved ones.
"What if it was my mother, father, or loved one lying there in the morgue and I couldn't afford to properly lay them to rest?" Das said. "There were just a lot of things that hit home for me, and I just wanted to immediately take action."
Since the launch in October 2009, the endeavors of "May WE Rest in Peace" have been covered 20 burials in Detroit.
