Ryan and Lauren Cropper along with their 3 young children were forced to evacuate in the early morning of Sunday August 27th after several feet of water inundated their home. They, along with their neighbors, all escaped the rising waters safely, but are still waiting for the waters to recede before they can even begin to rebuild their lives. Due to their close proximity to the Buffalo Bayou and the continued release of water from the Addicks Reservoir, we are all praying that it doesn't continue to rise beyond the current estimated 6-7' level.

The Croppers, along with so many others in our city, are all struggling to find their path forward as they try to find temporary housing and provisions for their family. It will certainly be a long difficult time before their life returns to normal.

Our family are trying to find every way possible to support Lauren, Ryan, Thomas, Ellie and Mary Carter. If you have the means to give, we would be so very grateful if you would consider making a financial contribution to help them get back on their feet.

On another note, please reach out to any others that you may know in the Walnut Bend subdivision as there have been so many that have been hurt by this unimaginable event.

Thank you in advance for your support and God bless.
