As many of you may already know, Fellow Freeper Texana_RED's home was washed away in the devastating floods that are hitting Texas right now. Some of you may have seen video of a house in Kerrville floating downstream, then hitting a tree, and disintegrating. That was Texana_RED's home. Some of you may have seen an interview showing a woman on televison pointing to her red pickup truck which was lodged in a tree. That was Texana_RED. She literally got out with her pajamas, with 2 of her dogs. She lost the rest of her pets, and all the contents of her house, and workshop.
Some of you may have met Texana marching around the Governor's mansion after the election, or at the Freeper Inaugural Ball.
With Jim Robinson's gracious permission, I am being allowed to bring this Freeper in Distress Call to your attention. If you would like to send a donation to help, please check the Texas Chapter Board, or Freepmail Sockmonkey or Anymouse.

Thank you sockmonkey for all the work you are doing to Texana_Red. As I mentioned I met her at the Govenors mansion during the election debacle and she was a HOOOOT!!! It was great meeting her along with many others that we talk to all the time her. She is a strong woman and I know that with our help and prayers she will be back with smile on her face in no time. I have heard there is a Super Walmart near her so I got a gift card that I will get in the mail to her tomarrow.
Sockmonkey don't get mad at me but I might also add to ALL that we also must keep sockmonkey in our prayers because through all this she has gotten flooded and reflooded also. The home is still inact it was just alot of work getting the water out, it always is. This has been a trying time for many Texans and at this time the sun is out. YEAAAA

Oh dear! Thanks for the pings!
I will be praying! This certainly brings home the reality and personal tragedy in a distant news story!

Thank you Kay and HLL for the ping, and I will get a donation out to her in tomorrow's mail. I know she needs cash more than anything else at the moment.
Fellow Texans, if anybody in the Waco area will be taking donations to her, please freepmail me. I'm sure I have a few things around the house that will do her more good than me.

Are Money Orders better than checks? As screwed up as things are going to be down there, it would be cash-in-hand a lot quicker.
To: WhyisaTexasgirlinPA
I'll keep you in my prayers too.
