TEXAS – Although a week has passed since the storm struck Texas, the hearts of Hurricane Beryl survivors are still broken throughout the hardest-hit areas. Reports of fatalities from heat and a lack of electricity continue to trickle in, as hundreds of thousands are still without power.
Local resident Latonya told us, “A hurricane came and blew a tree down on my porch, and I couldn’t get in the front door.”
Thanks to friends like you, Operation Blessing’s disaster relief team deployed to the surrounding area before the hurricane made landfall. We’ve been supporting a cooling station while distributing food, water, and crucial ice. We’ve also been handed out over 1000 fresh cooked meals for relief workers, volunteers, and victims struggling through the aftermath.
Volunteers Are Helping Hurricane Beryl Survivors
With trees down throughout the region, we’ve rallied volunteers who are braving the heat to help distressed homeowners recover. Through the partnership of our supporters, we’re providing the equipment, organization, and oversight to make these efforts possible.
Our volunteer named Bridgette said, “I’m awestruck every time I come through here to see how much damage can happen. But at the same time, just see how much the community can come together and just how much love can come out of such a bad thing.”
We’re excited to share that our teams are on the ground and on the job reaching out to provide help, hope, comfort, and tangible aid in this difficult time. But many more hurting residents still need assistance.
Will you help us continue this crucial work?
Together, we can continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus for these hurting families in their time of need. Thank you so much for your love and care!
