Update on Texas Wildfires

As firefighters start letting more residents back into their neighborhoods, the true wildfire damage is now being assessed. The latest count shows 1,554 homes destroyed, with the numbers expected to rise even more as the search continues.

Many longtime residents are being forced to live in temporary shelter until their homes are rebuilt. Countless families are rummaging through the piles of donations looking for toys, toiletries, blankets, and other necessities, while most are just trying to make sense of the devastation.

The Federal government did declare Texas a disaster area last Friday, which will lead to increased relief funding. Schools opened yesterday and with wildfire containment numbers continuing to rise, Texas residents are seeking normalcy. Let us not forget that people are still in financial need and donations continue to be appreciated.

We thank you for your Texas support and prayers.

Texas Wildfires Continue to Burn

The fast burning Texas wildfires continue to rage. Destroying 1,000 homes so far and over 5,000 people evacuated, the survivors of the Texas Wildfires are scrambiling for help. With 22 new fires just starting overnight, these Texas Wildfires are far from over and the need for Texas disaster relief supplies increases as each day passes.

The state of Texas is burning. We need to help. Join us in helping Texas. Donate today and we'll get supplies sent to the Texas wildfire victims. with your support. Thank you and our prayers go out to the people of Texas.

Thank You for the Tornado Donations

Generous Donors,

Thank you to all who have contributed to the tornado disaster relief fund. To date, we have now shipped more than 200,000 pounds of relief supplies to help the victims of the devastating tornadoes, which drastically changed the lives of several hundred children and their families.

It is very hard for most of us to imagine losing our home, and everything else we own, in a matter of a few seconds. Then having to start over by first searching for a place to live until you can get your life back together knowing nothing will ever be the same. Many survivors have nowhere to go, many still do not know if their loved ones are even alive!

But thanks to you, they are beginning a new chapter in their lives and with God's blessing we know that we will continue to help because of caring people like you.

Again on behalf of those who will benefit from your generosity, please accept our deepest appreciation.

Gratefully,

Roger Presgrove
President
