We have had a few days to try and get our thoughts around this tragic flooding in Hill Country. They were not enough.
Our hearts are broken, and we are desperate to help.
While we were able to be surrounded by our families, eat barbeque, and watch fireworks, these families were being torn apart by nature.
Homes, businesses, and more were destroyed, but that is not even the worst part… an abundance of lives has been lost. Hope, for so many, was swallowed whole with the relentless force of these floods and devastation accompanying them. There was a moment where we thought… “we're are only a small group, we can't do much” and it turned into the realization that even IF we can't do much in the big picture of so much grief and loss, we CAN provide help to some. A box of diapers and wipes along with water and some food may only make a small difference in the “Big Picture” but to one family - that is HUGE. So, we will be loading up our delivery vans and taking down enough to help, maybe 1 family, hopefully several families. If you want to help, we are gladly accepting donations to take with us! There are copious amounts of lists online as to what Kerrville and Camp Mystic victims need, but the basics are as follows:
Water
Non-perishable food: Canned goods, packaged meals, and other shelf-stable food items are vital.
Hygiene products: Soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hand sanitizer, and feminine hygiene products, deodorant, hair brushes.
Cleaning supplies: Bleach, trash bags, mops, brooms
Blankets
Diapers and baby wipes
Pet food and beds
New socks and underwear
Flashlights and batteries
Trash bags
First aid supplies
Gently used/ new clothing and shoes
Generators, weather radios, and tarps
We can not help with the grief. We can, however, help with the rebuilding and comfort. So- if you are able and willing to donate items, we would be happy to add them onto our trip! Please call us if you need more information or just swing in, and we have an allocated area just for this.
We will be leaving to go down with donations on the morning of the 7/19.
