This weekend I spent some time with my amazing parents. They rode out the storm (Hurricane Harvey) and thankfully, did not see any damage to their home. Unfortunately, some our neighbors, friends and family were not as fortunate. I am not from Houston, so to speak, but it's my adopted home. I moved there when I was 15, and moved from home when I was 19. I met lifelong friends, and the city has a big contribution to the shape of me, as a person. Driving around the city and seeing the devastation of the restaurants we frequent, neighborhoods of old friends, and businesses near our home, broke my heart. My mom and I did our best to collect donations and help the community as much as we could. It truly does not feel like enough. It's our time to rally together to help all of those affected. At the bottom, is a link of some local charities if you would like to donate.
