![Bobbi Kristina Hospitalized -- Whitney Houston's Daughter Rushed to the Hospital [UPDATE]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/13/0213-whitney-hero-2-248x127.jpg)
The rain's rolled out, but the misery is still setting in -- now rappers Ludacris and T.I. are helping their soggy hometown get back on its feet.
TMZ has learned The Ludacris Foundation has partnered up with Home Depot and Sam's Club to help victims of the Atlanta floods -- which City Hall officials say caused $61 million in damages and wrecked nearly 500 homes.
We spoke to a rep for the foundation, who told us Luda and T.I. are donating $10,000 each to the cause.
The Foundation's rep told us they are planning a large food bank and a gift card giveaway that could happen as soon as Friday.

Help those people, whom are in extremely difficulties, is a very nice action. But, 10.000 bucks, for who earn a lot of money, is too little. They could help more, I think

Oh yeah, and yes, we all know your donation ends up as a tax deduction so don't get full of yourself with your I'm a great guy for helping out my city crap...You are about as transparent as the rental cars, planes, and chicks on your show and tell celluloids which are no longer on any TV...

Puhleeeeeze. I guess those OTHER rumors must be true...Ludy's attempting to reclaim some cred. While your gesture I'm sure is well appreciated by those affected...I know you've had bar tabs in excess of that amount; not to mention your 'Gentleman's Club' tabs.

Man people give the Rappers a break even if it is Tax deductiable, you could only wish your were in there Tax Bracket. To the people making the negative comments did you read futher down regarding the large food bank and the gift card give away as earlier as Friday. How long did it take President Bush to help the people of New Orleans (Katrina). Those with the Negative comments are you trying to help donate anything? What if it was you with a family every little bit counts. JUST SAYING
I'll probably get nasty comments left after this

$61 million.... Try $500 MILLION in damages. I agree, 10K is a little low on their behalf but something is always better than nothing. Every bit helps. I guess their amounts would have been more if it would of actually of happened in their neighborhood. *shrugs* Considering the main floods were outside of Atlanta, oh well... But thanks for the dough and support *wink*.

It's nice that they're stepping up...a good example to everyone. It's better than doing nothing at all. God bless the people who have lost so much there.
