– Heath Slater and his wife are in their home state of West Virginia this week to help with relief for victims of the recent flooding. Slater spoke with WVVA.com and commented on giving back:

“To me, it was just heartbreaking to see the pictures, and knowing that I had time off to come up here and try to put some smiles on kids faces and uplift some people…I think I can help too.”
