Snoop Dogg is the latest celebrity to donate to a GoFundMe campaign for a 93-year-old woman trying to hold on to her family’s land. The rapper made a $10,000 donation through his record label, Death Row Records, to Josephine Wright.
Her parcel on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina is at the center of a legal battle with developers. The land has been in her husband’s family since the Civil War. However, she’s being sued by a developer who claims her satellite dish, shed and screened-in porch are delaying the construction of planned new homes because the items are encroaching on the planned property.
Wright has filed a countersuit, claiming a constant barrage of tactics – including intimidation, harassment and trespassing – have been used to try to force her to sell her property.
NBA player Kyrie Irving has also joined the cause, donating $40,000 last month and actor Tyler Perry asked how he can help on Instagram. Currently, the campaign has raised more than $270,000 toward its $350,000 goal.
