Friends, I am popping in tonight with a quick post regarding the recent post-hurricane flooding in Texas. I have had a long day but even though it is late I wanted to share this story with you.
If you follow us on Instagram then you know that my brother and his family live in Houston, in one of the areas hit hardest by Hurricane Harvey. My brother spent the early part of this week on his boat {see him above, his arm is in a cast from a recent surgery}, working with the fire department to assist those that were stranded as the water rose. Thankfully their home was spared but they know so many people who have lost everything.
My brother and his wife shared a story with us that when Christy and I read it, we decided we wanted to share it with all of you. My brother received this text below from a friend, his friend and wife lost their home in the storm. They have a young family including a four-month-old baby.
As a small token of support, my brother’s family is collecting donations to help this young family get back on their feet and lift up them during this terrible time. Christy and I decided that we’d share their story in case any of you wanted to donate to help them as well.
If you would like to make a small donation to help this young family, you may PayPal it to admin@11magnolialane.com or use this link. {edit: we have completed our fundraising effort as of this morning, if you feel inclined to give please reach out to the American Red Cross or Samaritan’s Purse.} THANK YOU, THANK YOU everyone!!!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and God bless Texas.
Amy (& Christy)
