Texas Winter Storm Victim Fund
Donation protected
I'm Varuni Saranu, Coppell Middle School Student residing in Irving, TX. Although, I don't have any direct relation with these impacted victims, but I wanted to help as much as I can with my family and friends support.
The winter weather emergency in Texas and much of the South is getting worse, with millions facing yet another night in the dark with no heat and no clean water. This relentless winter blast is blamed for at least 24 deaths this week. One-third of Americans are in the path of a second winter storm, with the snow and ice headed to the East Coast.
Families in all over Texas are doing anything to stay warm, sometimes making deadly choices. 911 calls are up throughout Texas. Hospitals have treated hundreds for exposure to the cold and for carbon monoxide poisoning as Texans fire up generators and stay in their cars to keep warm.
Frustration is boiling over as utilities scramble to try to restore power. More than 2.5 million are in the dark with no heat for a third day. Frozen pipes are bursting, flooding homes and businesses. One Dallas apartment building had icicles inside. So many pipes have now burst, Texas' governor is asking for help from out-of-state plumbers as many counties warn their water could be contaminated and needs to be boiled.
All these funds will be used to buy and donate the things as specified below. We are planning to donate the following items to the most of the people who are in need (through visiting warmer shelters in and around Dallas)
1. Drinking Water Bottles (Gallon and Half-Gallon)
2. Battery Heated Blankets/Warmer Blankets
3. Packed Food
4. Winter Wear
I know, millions of people were affected but we can help each other in this disastrous times and support each other.
