Like many of you who have been watching the news, it is heartbreaking to see the horror of what’s happening in Texas and the deadly flooding. 

This devastating flood began late on July 3. By July 7, over 100 people had tragically died, many of whom were children, and several others remain missing. There is no comfort, no aid, and no words that can fully replace the overwhelming loss of so many lives.

There is, however, one thing we can do: show our support as a community. This is one of humanity's greatest strengths, and it is a strength that Texas, its survivors, responders, and loved ones of the victims need. 

As a community, giving is one way we can demonstrate our support. If you have the means and the ability, please consider contributing to disaster relief efforts through the Red Cross.

Together, you and I can make a difference.
