By selling t-shirts that take aim at Kanye West, Hilary Duff and her husband are helping to raise funds for Holocaust survivors.
In his latest online, anti-semitic rant, and before his sales site was completely shut down, the embattled rapper ignited global outrage when he took to social media in praise of Hitler and the Nazi party by attempting to sell a shirt with a swastika symbol via his Yeezy website.
In response to the musician’s latest outrageous action and with proceeds going to help survivors of the Holocaust. Duff and her spouse Matthew Koma are making a difference by selling t-shirts adorned with the slogan “F*** Ye”
Taking to Instagram, Koma shared his t-shirt design this week, writing “Hey I can make a shirt too – link in bio, all proceeds to The Blue Card Holocaust survivor charity.” Matthew’s design shows a simple white t-shirt with the un-censored wording of his design written boldly across the front in black letters.
With statistics confirming many such survivors are so elderly and infirm that they struggle to leave their home, the Blue Card charity strives to aid survivors of the Holocaust who live in the USA whose income is below the federal poverty line.
While all proceeds from his t-shirt sales will go to the charity, TMZ reports that Koma has also vowed to match donations dollar for dollar to boost the money going to the charity even further.
In a formal statement, Masha Pearl, Executive Director of The Blue Card said:
“We are so grateful to Matthew Koma and to Hilary Duff for quickly springing into action and realizing this is not ok and they have to do something, utilizing fashion to get the word out there.” “They learned about the Blue Card on their own and basically reached out and, at this point, had quickly created the t-shirt and had been spreading this on social media, both Matthew and Hilary, which we were extremely, extremely pleased about.”
The F**k Ye t-shirts are available to pre-order via shop.wbleague.com and retail at $20.00
