Heart-wrenching doesn't even begin to describe the tragedy in the Texas Hill Country. Our hearts are broken for the families, campers, and communities devastated by the floods. Please, pray for the ones that lost their loved ones this weekend.
For those looking to help, here’s how you can help to support the victims and aid the recovery efforts. I'll keep this list updated. If you know of any other verified charities helping, message me and I’ll add them! Keep in mind monetary efforts & gift cards seem to be the most needed until the victims of the flooding have a place to store the items.
