My heart is with every Texan affected by the catastrophic floods in the Hill Country. As of July 7, more than 100 lives have been lost—including children and beloved counselors at Camp Mystic—and countless families continue to search for missing loved ones.

In this critical moment, our community’s strength shines through. The Texas Tribune outlines meaningful ways to help:
• Donate funds to trusted organizations like the American Red Cross or Central Texas Community Foundation—monetary support ensures families can access housing, medical care, food, and more.
• Volunteer or contribute supplies through groups such as Austin Disaster Relief Network, which is coordinating tools, cleaning supplies, and building materials.
• Support mental health and recovery services—many families need emotional as well as physical assistance.

Your compassion can make a real difference. Please read more and share this link so together, we can make an impact:

Whether it’s donating, volunteering, or simply offering kindness to a neighbor, every small act makes a big difference.

Stay safe, Texas. We’re in this together. 💙
