Grandpa Pete
Peter, a retired Youth Counselor, is raising five grandchildren and is legally blind. The family's home has been damaged by winter storm Uri, with no hot water for two years, one bathroom, and hazardous mold and rotting cabinets. Katy Responds stepped in to help make the home safe for him and his grandchildren.
Ms Jackson
Despite facing numerous challenges, Ms. Jackson, a single mother, continued to volunteer in her community while raising her two adult special needs sons. Unfortunately, their home was severely damaged during Hurricane Harvey, leaving them without water and air for years. However, with the help of Katy Respond, we were able to rebuild their home, providing them with a safe and comfortable space to call their own. Let's celebrate their resilience and the strength of community support!
Gray Brothers
After tragically losing his mother, stepfather, and grandfather, Jaylan and his younger brother, Julian, found themselves grappling with grief and loss. As if that weren’t enough, their home was severely damaged by a brutal winter storm. Determined to care for his brother, Jaylan made a difficult decision to drop out of college to provide stability and support during this trying time. Despite the hardships, Jaylan’s unwavering strength and love for his family shines through, making him an inspiration to us all. With the donations made, Katy Responds was able to rebuild their home, restore hope, and provide a safe environment for Jaylan and his brother.
