Troy Polamalu, of the Pittsburgh Steelers, has donated $10,000 to American Samoa to support victims of major flooding and mudslides that occurred in July.

According to Radio New Zealand, the money donated by Polamalu will go directly to individuals who were impacted by the disaster.

The flooding and mudslides occurred from July 29 through Aug. 3 and caused approximately $5 million in damage.

According to a statement from Lolo Moliga, the governor of American Samoa, he expressed gratitude to Polamalu and his family and invited others to contribute to help those who lost their homes due to the natural disaster.

Those interested in helping American Samoa and other charitable organizations can do so through the Troy and Theodora Polamalu Foundation website.

Polamalu was born in Garden Grove, CA, and he is of Samoan descent.
