Thank you to all my students and family that made cards for the people of Kerrville. Your love and kindness have been seen.

We received a beautiful batch of handmade cards stuffed with cash from our friends and family at Llano Horsemanship yesterday!

These cards are treasures for our first responders, victims of the flood, and volunteers who are still here helping our communities rebuild. At then end of long, sad days sometimes these are the only bright pieces of their days. Do not underestimate the power of art and kindness folks...it's so needed right now.

One month later and our town is still buzzing with search and recovery teams coming in and out of the river all over town. Its so profound to know the damage and debris these people are dealing with to find those still in the river.

We pulled up next to these guys at a stoplight. Water still dripping off their boat, I saw their tired faces after battling the heat and devastion they had been working in. There were three guys sitting in the truck probably heading off to another location or maybe ending another long shift. I keep the handmade cards sent to us from kids all over the country stuffed in my purse for opportunities like these. So before they took off, I reached in the back, grabbed a handful of cards, and shoved my husband out of the truck with them. Greg knocked on their window and distributed them to the very grateful men who lit up when they heard these cards were made by kids just for them.

They drove off and we went on our way. That's just life in Kerrville these days.

Our Kids Helping Texas volunteer, Violet, enjoyed meeting Denise who has been working at the Emergency Operations Center for the last four weeks.

Shopping for supplies to make something for a flood victim's family in Hobby Lobby, you could hear the emotional toll this last month has taken on her as we swapped stories.

Like many that receive these beautiful, handmade cards she just stared it for a few minutes. A weary smile came over her face as she thanked us from the bottom of her heart. I had no idea just how powerful these cards would be.

We got to meet the police department from San Antonio that have been here in the ground since the beginning!

This card donated to us from Llano Horsemanship just stopped me in my tracks this morning. The kids can see the trauma of what is happening and showing it through this art work.

A beautiful, tragic tribute to our first responders from this little girl.

Here we go again. Thankfully we are well off the flood plain. Everyone is dry with full bellies.
