Help Fix Amanda and Steven's House

Donation protected
Hurricane Harvey is tied with Hurricane Katrina as the costliest tropical cyclone on record, inflicting at least $125 billion (2017 USD) in damage, primarily from catastrophic rainfall-triggered flooding in the Houston metropolitan area.

Amanda and Steven's house was no exception. They received major damage during the storm and have not received aid in order to fix their house. 

Steven served in the United States Army from 2002 - 2008 in the 1st Infantry Division and he was stationed in Germany and then deployed to Iraq. Both Amanda and Steven have spent their free time collecting and distributing needed items to others in their community affected by Harvey despite their own needs. 

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Every time it rains or there is threat of another storm, their house is at risk for further damage, so give as soon as you can.

Thanks so much!
