As many of you are aware, the rains from Tropical Storm Hermine caused major flooding in the Round Rock West area on September 8th.  Many of the homeowners suffered damage that does not meet the 36" flood water criteria for Red Cross aid.  While some of those do have sufficient insurance and financial means to rebuild their homes and lives after the flood, many that live in the flooded areas in the Round Rock West neighborhood are still not able to live in their homes will have to pay for alternate housing  for another three to six months. This is causing a huge financial burden on most families as there is not any financial aid to this point. Even with flood insurance many people are having to pay their mortgages and now rent in addition to replacing most of their belongings out of pocket. We have established a means for anyone who wishes to make a tax-deductible donation to do so at this time.  We have partnered with the Austin Disaster Relief Network (ADRN), a 501 (c )3 non profit organization formed to help in instances like this.

 

The ADRN, who has already played a big role in organizing clean up volunteers for the  big clean-up day on September 11th, has offered to collect donations for the flood victims. They will allow donors to specifically designate where they want their contribution to go and it is tax deductible. The donations made to the ADRN will be completely transparent and the victims should start seeing donations within days of the donation.
