Hawkins Hurricane Harvey Relief
Donation protected
My daughter Jenice and her family have lost their home, vehicle and most everything they own to Hurricane Harvey and its continued punishment of the Texas coast. They have been living in a shelter in Chambers County since Monday Aug. 28th when they were evac'd by boat from their home. Along with them were also 13 members of my son-in-laws family (another 5 homes lost) With no immediate relief in sight and no home to return to they have decided to relocate their family to the Virginia area in the coming weeks and start over building a new life together.
Its hard to put a value on your home and its contents but like Jenice told me "we are all safe, the rest of it is just stuff, it can be replaced". She has kept an incredibly positive outlook since Harvey arrived, but im afraid their journey is just starting and they are literally starting over with just the clothes on their backs.
Displaced in this chaotic situation are my 4 beautiful grandchildren (pictured) all between the ages of 5 and 1. I cant imagine being in my daughters shoes right now and ive been in some pretty stressful enviroments in my life. The love Jenice and Quinten show their children is inspiring to say the least. And i know they will do what is needed to take care of and protect them in the coming months as they recover and relocate to a new beginning.
As a Dad and a Grandpa i am going to try to do everything i can to help make their journey and eventually their new start as stressfree as i can. I am the Sole Proprietor of Corpsgraphics a little business i started a couple years ago and I am going to donate a good portion of all the proceeds from the sale of products offered on my website www.corpsgraphics.com .
Now if thats not your style and you still would like to help there are alot of things they are going to go thru and are going to need in the coming days , weeks, months.. if you wish to donate a gift/gas/food card (national retailers/stores please they will be travelling) you can mail it to my business address and i will forward it to them as soon as the are able to recieve mail. All monetary donations will be made available to Jenice and her family thru electronic fund transfers to help in their recovery needds . Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
I understand there are tens of thousands of families affected by this storm and i can only wish them all a safe and quick recovery.
