Rapper Trae Tha Truth, Kroger team up to gift Christmas trees and ornaments to needy Houston families

Hundreds of Houston families lined up to take part in a Christmas tree giveaway on Wednesday night.

The event was put together thanks to rapper and humanitarian Trae Tha Truth and Kroger.

“That’s where my energy comes from. People ask you what motivates, what drives you, and it’s always the fact of allowing people to see that they can breathe, that they can exhale and know that somebody’s got their back,” said Trae.

A total of 100 trees were given out along with ornaments to brighten up each family’s holiday.

“We don’t have a lot of money so we can’t afford a lot of stuff, and this is just a big thing to us,” said 10-year-old Keanu Simon.
