I"m thinking you just show up with your boat and offer to help with anything that needs to be done.. Are call Texas Parks and Wildlife/Texas Game Warden, I know they have been helping out alot. |

My house still dry but moved horses, dogs and cattle because we will flood from the river. I'm keeping my horses at Fairgrounds and they are bringing rescues in that will need hay at least. As I was feeding mine this morning I had to find water buckets for animals I saw brought in yesterday that still had no water. Going back later to see if feed store is open. It's only going to get worse. Thank you for helping these horses.If you need some money towards feed for them im a PM AWAY. Same here---and you're an angel They have a few donations in hay and feed. Will probably need more depending on the number of rescues that come in over the next few days. I will get with the Brazoria County people running the shelter and find out if they have a way to take donations. Anything will be appreciated because it will be awhile before many can go home. We have had rain all day. Angleton has a levee around the town but after my last trip out to my place today I'm worried about it. We need a day of relief tomorrow. My house will most likely flood tonight but at least all horses, cattle and dogs are safe for now. It's just unbelievable this is happening. We flooded last June and it was the 1st time our home ever flooded. But then it was just a few counties nothing like what's happening now. Can't even comprehend what the aftermath will be. Thanks for the prayers for our state and people.
Thank you. We will be land locked here til the river starts going down. We have a levee around our town and hopefully it will hold. There will be a need all over for hay. A lot will lose what they have in barns. Plus the longer it takes river to go down the grass is really nasty afterwards. Bless you all for thinking and praying for us. |

| We are working with Ranchaid.org to organize a caravan down I-35 to Texas when the rain stops. They will be needing hay, feed, halters, lead ropes, buckets, antibiotics, temporary fencing, and cattle cubes to name a few. Much of the hay stored in barns down in the flood area will obviously be ruined and the flooded grass land will be a mess. Many of the cattle and horses have been moved to temporary areas outside the flood zone and supplies will be desperate, I'm sure. I'll keep posting as we get organized and you can decide what you can supply if you want to volunteer.

Please keep us posted as to which way and where the convoy goes. I'm a long way away but I want to help so bad. And for LA folks that may need help---our offer still stands. Just PM me if you need anything and we will do our best for you. God bless this site and everyone that is helping. |

My momma says I prefer animals---maybe I do---but those pictures hurt my heart so bad. But then also make me thank God that He has given these people the love and desire to help these four legged victims. Praying even harder. . . . |

If you need round bales of hay (Brome) to load on your trailer I have some I would donate and I can load it here at my place. I just don't have a big enough trailer to make a trip worthwhile. Gail should have my number or can message me here when you get more details and information. |
