Hurricane Harvey

I just sat down to eat dinner and watch the KTVB evening news. They just gave an incredibly heartbreaking update to the number of people who can't return to their homes.

Over 30,000. That's how many people are expected to make their homes in temporary shelters in Houston and surrounding areas in Texas in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Many families have lost everything from their homes, to vehicles, to clothing. We want to give them a hand up during this difficult time.

The scenes of disaster and loss in Houston, he Texas Gulf Coast, and Louisiana are heartbreaking. It makes you wonder what it might be like if we ever dealt with similar flooding.

While most of us might be coming off a fun weekend of having margaritas with our sister on the patio at Barrelhouse, celebrating our son's 4th birthday party or watching the Mayweather vs McGregor fight with friends, the folks in Houston had a very different weekend.
