Before you buy gaudy Christmas sweaters bedecked in jingle bells and felt reindeer, make sure you are purchasing them from famous rapper 2 Chainz. The profits garnered from the rapper’s “Dabbing Santa” sweaters will be used to pay the rent of a disabled veteran and provide his family new furniture for their home.

The Atlanta-based rapper, who grew up in poverty, heads a charity called the T.R.U. Foundation that helps underprivileged families. One of those families is the Plater household, which includes a disabled military veteran.

“It’s hard to keep gas in the car, food in the house, and do everything by myself being a single parent,” Dierdre​ Plater told CBS News. Though she recently recovered from surgery, Plater has been looking for a new job for a year to make ends meet. When 2 Chainz arrived at her home with new furniture and a check, Plater couldn’t believe it.

“I love to see stuff like this happen for other people, but I never thought it would happen to me,” she said.

In a recent Instagram post, 2 Chainz wrote at length why “it’s important to give back when you got it.”

I remember when we didn’t have hot water and I didn’t want my friends to know, so I told them it was something wrong with that bathroom and they couldn’t use my mommas, i remember using the oven to heat the house, I would stand in the kitchen for hours to stay warm. I remember waiting until the water co. Close at 5, so we could use a tool and turn the water back on until 6 a.m., I remember going to sleep hungry, i remember a long ass extension chord coming from the neighbors house to mine to borrow they’re lights, I remember stealing cable, cars, clothes etc, no matter how much pain I endured I smiled on the outside, it was my defense mechanism. I remember.
