Thank you to everyone who has sent so many texts, DM’s, calls, emails.. they have meant so much to us and are greatly appreciated. We are safe and feeling SO very thankful. Our home has not been directly affected by the flooding as of yet, but the waters are quickly rising in our neighborhood and we can not drive out of our flooded streets. We are praying very hard for all who have been affected by this devastating storm. And also ask you to please pray for them as well- Houston desperately needs all of our prayers right now.
I am desperately wanting to help as much as I can, but donations are about all I can do from home. As soon as the streets clear up, we will be out dropping off donations and doing as much as we can to help! I wanted to quickly get this post up to share how YOU can help (ANY little bit helps). Just think if each of you were able to share just $5-$20! It would make a huge impact.
