💔 In the Wake of Texas Flooding, We’re Standing Together, Sharing Resources, and Offering Hope
As flooding continues to devastate communities across Texas, we pause to extend our deepest compassion to every family, business, and emergency responder affected by this unfolding disaster. This isn’t just another storm. It’s entire neighborhoods underwater. It’s parents carrying children through chest-high water. It’s small businesses, first responder stations, and schools overwhelmed by rising tides and heartbreaking uncertainty. However, we’re also seeing something extraordinary, neighbors becoming heroes, first responders working around the clock, and community organizations springing into action with grit and grace.
In moments like this, support matters. Information matters. And knowing you’re not alone matters most of all.
