<div><strong><em>Mindful Rescue</em></strong>, a newly formed Texas non-profit organization filing for 501(c)(3) status shortly, is on a mission to provide crucial relief to families devastated by Hurricane Helene. We need your help to make a difference in the lives of those affected by this disaster in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, and other hurricane-impacted areas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Richie Flores</em></strong>, from Pflugerville, TX (outside of Austin), the President of Mindful Rescue (Owner of Mindful Moving and Richie Does It All), has been actively involved in hurricane relief efforts since Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and countless other disaster relief efforts across the United States. Richie has a wealth of experience in disaster recovery, including search and rescue operations for both humans and pets and assisting with home demolitions, and repairing homes to rebuild communities. Over the years, Richie has played a key role in recovery efforts for five major hurricanes, and now he’s leading our team to bring hope and support to those affected by Hurricane Helene and future disasters from personal, local, state, and federal emergencies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is to depart from the Austin/Central Texas area no later than October 15, 2024, bringing disaster relief and emergency services directly to the hardest-hit communities affected by Hurricane Helene. But we can’t do this without your support!
