Words cannot express how devastated most of the state of Texas is right now. From Dallas south is just soaked and there is more rain in the forecast. There are still so many people missing, power still out, and families who lost everything.
If I wasn't working full time and in need of my paycheck right now Dave and I would be up there right now working this whole week while he is off hitch. But we cannot afford for me to not work so the next best thing we could do was spearhead collecting donations and drive them up ourselves.
San Marcos was a hard hit central Texas area. I actually was coming back from my parent's place in Georgetown on Sunday morning when I got work they had shut down I-35 because it was under water. Thank goodness for the 130 toll road. Dave went to college at Texas State in San Marcos. He loved it. It is by far one of his favorite places when it comes to the Texas Country Music Scene.
Facebook rallied and within hours groups were created to disseminate information and provide means of communication for people to help. I was able to reach out to a Teacher at Travis Elementary School and the 38 families there became our main focus for our donations.

Please pray for the missing, please pray for those lives that were lost, and please pray for healing for everyone affected by mother nature. It will take weeks and months for us all to recover but as Texans do, we help each other out no matter where we are in this big state!
