Former SMU wide receiver Trey Quinn is raising money through a GoFundMe page to help his hometown of Lake Charles, Louisiana, which was hit hard by Hurricane Laura. Below is his social media message.


On August 27, 2020, my hometown of Lake Charles, LA bore the brunt of Hurricane Laura, one of the strongest storms to ever make landfall in Louisiana.

I'm raising money in conjunction with United Way of Southwest Louisiana where 100% of donations will go towards Hurricane Laura immediate response and long-term recovery efforts. United Way of Southwest Louisiana is on the ground to assist where hundreds of thousands of people are still without power or water. Any donation no matter how small will help make an impact.

As one of the only NFL players originally from Lake Charles, my hope is that we can help to address the urgent needs and provide support to help survivors rebuild the city that I call my home. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

— Trey Quinn

I was in Lake Charles last week. The damage is very real and very bad. Not being covered by the national media adequately.
