New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, aka AOC, has stepped up to the plate to help millions of Texans as they continue to struggle through a historic winter storm.

The congresswoman took to Twitter to announce she was raising money for five separate organizations to help relief efforts in Texas, but little did she know her charity work would explode in a short amount of time.

$1 Million  Raised in four hours

AOC says the money will be split among The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center, Ending Community Homeless Coalition (ECHO), Family Eldercare, Houston Food Bank, and Feeding Texas.

Within just a couple of hours, she had helped raise $325,000 and was able to hit the $1 million mark in just four short hours. 

The charity relief effort came after Texas experienced days of snow and ice that shut off power for nearly 3 million citizens, but recovery is on the horizon as the snow begins to melt.
