Help Us Rebuild After the Devastating Texas Flood
Donation protected
My name is Jenny, and I never thought I’d be writing something like this.
On July 4th, 2025, our home in Central Texas was hit by devastating floods. No warning. Just rain fast, heavy, and unforgiving. Within hours, water was pouring in through the walls, the back door, even through our septic line. It rose up to the bedroom windows. Floors buckled. Everything was soaked. We lost so much. I woke up to water lines on the walls, soaked floors that buckled beneath our feet, and a home that no longer feels safe. The damage is extensive from the house to the shop to the carport everything was shifted, drenched, or destroyed. Mold is already setting in, and the humidity won't let anything dry. But I didn’t have time to break down. I have two littles who need me.
I have a 7-year-old son who is severely medically complex he's had 9 brain surgeries and deals with GI, bladder, and airway issues. I also have a nearly 6-year-old. Neither of them should be breathing in mold or living in this chaos. We’re currently “camping” in the living room . My kids are out of place, confused, overwhelmed and need extra hugs Even our pets are out of sorts the backyard is still too contaminated for them to safely go outside like they use to .
We’ve reached out for help.
- I applied for FEMA assistance, but with over 100,000 people affected, we don’t know when aid will come.
- I’ve contacted the Red Cross as directed, but haven’t heard anything back yet.
- I filed a claim with our insurance, but like so many others, I don’t have additional flood coverage, and I’m not sure what (if anything) they’ll help with.
This is not a quick fix.
We need a new roof, subfloors, sheetrock, insulation, and countless essentials just to make our home livable again. I’m overwhelmed, exhausted, and trying to hold it all together for my kids .
Any donation no matter how small will help us begin the long road to rebuilding. If you’re unable to give, please keep us (and everyone affected in Texas) in your prayers.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for supporting us through this unimaginable time.
With much love
Jenny and the kids
