I couldn’t let another day pass by without saying anything about the tragedy in Texas. Every day I’ve been praying for the people who are going through something I can’t even imagine experiencing. I can’t even begin to put myself in their shoes, because I’ve never experienced loss like they have. Many of my fellow bloggers and some of my readers are literally living this nightmare right now, and my heart is hurting for them. I’ll continue to pray for safety and peace for the people of Texas.
I wanted to share a few a few places where you can donate to help:
One of the easiest ways to help is to text “Harvey” to 909-99. A $10 donation will automatically be sent to the American Red Cross. (Update: Due to an overwhelming response, the Red Cross is no longer able to accept text donations, but you can also donate here.)
Another amazing organization you can donate through, is Convoy of Hope. This is a faith-based, non-profit organization that is consistently one of the first to respond to tragedies across the world.
Lastly, Mercy Chefs is another faith-based, non-profit organization that provides disaster relief by preparing meals for victims, volunteers, and first-responders. I learned of this organization through another blogger, and it seems like a great place to donate!
Please considering giving to one of these organizations if you can, and continue to pray for Texas. Also, if you follow my blog, please reach out to me so I can personally pray for you. Please send me a DM on Instagram, or email me (alissa@lipglossandlabels.com).
God promises to make something good out of the storms that bring devastation to your life. {Romans 8:28}
