I’m your host, Stefanie Moore and today, we’re jumping into a heavy but important topic that’s personal and close to my heart as a resident of Spring Branch, Texas, right here in the Hill Country of Texas.

This episode is dedicated to the people impacted by the devastating flooding that has struck our region, particularly in Kerrville, Texas, and surrounding areas. The loss of life and destruction caused by this tragedy has shaken our communities to the core. My heart and prayers go out to the families who have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. Today, we’ll reflect on the impact, honor the resilience of our neighbors, and share how you can help those in need through verified organizations listed in this episode’s description.

In times like these, we’re called to be all we can be to step up, support one another, and rebuild together. If you’re wondering how you can help, I’m asking you to consider donating to verified organizations that are making a difference on the ground.
