Most people know… Texas has experienced some extreme weather over the past couple of days. Everything from Thunder to Snow Storms. Many in the state were the victims of flooding and tornado damage which made it difficult for them to even leave their homes.

To everyone who made this possible, thank you so much! It took all of us and it was the most we had, and the least we could give.
