Speaker 1: This is the JB and Sandy Show podcast. You can
Speaker 1: listen live every morning on one of three point one
Speaker 1: in Austin or stream the show on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: And be real honest with you to today's one of
Speaker 2: these those days that's not really the greatest to be
Speaker 2: on the radio on days like today, because you know
Speaker 2: it can't really go in and cut up and joke
Speaker 2: around and make a whole bunch of them. You'll have
Speaker 2: a whole lot of fun when with the news of
Speaker 2: what's happened in the Hill Country over the weekend, with
Speaker 2: the massive flooding that took place there, in the devastation
Speaker 2: that has taken place there. So we're gonna focus this
Speaker 2: whole hour on what you can do, what we can
Speaker 2: do as Austinites to help out. But this story is
Speaker 2: heartbreaking on so many levels, you know what. I just
Speaker 2: as you think about the kids at camp, these are
Speaker 2: the camp that's getting the most talk, is the is
Speaker 2: mystic can't miss it as these are little girls, yeah,
Speaker 2: element aged, really all ages.
Speaker 3: But I can't help it project myself into it. You know,
Speaker 3: my daughter went to Camp Longhorn, YEP. But we could
Speaker 3: have just as easily picked camp Mystic and you know,
Speaker 3: it's it's always these tragedies, always harder when you go.
Speaker 3: That could be anyone you know or myself. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: that's how everyone's feeling like. It is just gut wrenching
Speaker 3: the thing that I get choked up thinking about it.
Speaker 3: Because our daughter's a camper. She's gone to the same
Speaker 3: camp she was since she was seven years old. She's
Speaker 3: sixteen now she's at that camp right now as a counselor.
Speaker 3: We dropped her off on Saturday. But I mean, just
Speaker 3: like picture keep picturing in my head the parents that
Speaker 3: gave their little girl a hug mm.
Speaker 4: Hmmmm and sending them off to one of their most
Speaker 4: favorite places in the world exactly.
Speaker 3: And it's it's it's hard enough when everything goes perfect, right, right,
Speaker 3: did you the first time you dropped, Like the next year,
Speaker 3: it's easy. But the first time you drop your because
Speaker 3: they're younger, they're a little nervous. You're nervous, you don't
Speaker 3: know how it's going to go. You know, you're like,
Speaker 3: it's full of tears when you drop them off, and
Speaker 3: it's full of tears when you pick them up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but there's a lot of smiles in the middle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they get so connected, they make good friends,
Speaker 3: and they have the time of their life. And it's
Speaker 3: gut wrenching on both sides. That first year in particular,
Speaker 3: and a lot of these girls were eight, so maybe
Speaker 3: their first year.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, and very interesting you just to think
Speaker 4: about how scared those girls must have been. But a
Speaker 4: friend of mine who was a camper and then a
Speaker 4: camp counselor all through her college days, even was a
Speaker 4: director at a camp in her as an adult. But
Speaker 4: she was like she also was like, I can't stop
Speaker 4: thinking about these sixteen our daughter, sixteen, sixteen, and seventeen
Speaker 4: and eighteen year old camp counselors who all of a
Speaker 4: sudden it was their responsibility to help save these small children,
Speaker 4: like something so huge happening. They're just kids themselves. It's
Speaker 4: just all the way around, just horrible.
Speaker 3: And you know, you don't I think it's human nature
Speaker 3: to start doing the blame game. Sure, but it rose
Speaker 3: that that river rose twenty six feet or something like
Speaker 3: that in forty five minutes in the middle of the night.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you know, they're asleep, Yeah, they're asleep there, you.
Speaker 3: Know, they're waking up to water in the cabin and
Speaker 3: by then, same thing with the RV part. And I
Speaker 3: saw a guy that made it out. He's like, I
Speaker 3: woke up to two feet of water in my RV.
Speaker 3: So if it's two feet of water, it's already waist
Speaker 3: high and flowing right a capacity to knock you over.
Speaker 3: And then all the debris that hits, like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: there's no in my opinion, there's just no one to blame.
Speaker 3: It's mother nature and it it's just terrifying. I mean, ugh,
Speaker 3: I saw some of the pictures on CNN, and you know,
Speaker 3: and you see they showed a picture inside the cabin.
Speaker 3: It looked just like the cabin my daughter was in.
Speaker 3: Bunk beds and the trunks that are decorated with their
Speaker 3: memes on it and stickers.
Speaker 5: And ugh. Yeah, it's a terrible story. It's a terrible story. Terrible.
Speaker 2: If you want to help out, we encourage you to
Speaker 2: do so. Communityfoundation dot net is where we want to
Speaker 2: send you. Again, this has been fully vetted. It's a
Speaker 2: reputable organization. It's been around since nineteen eighty two, and
Speaker 2: it's going to get the money and resources that are needed.
Speaker 2: And you know, money doesn't really fix a lot of
Speaker 2: this unfortunately. But if you want to make a donation,
Speaker 2: I've already done so, and it's very to do. Go
Speaker 2: to Community Foundation dot net to help out. So again,
Speaker 2: it's a tough day to be on the radio when
Speaker 2: you see this kind of devastation and loss of life
Speaker 2: with our neighbors. Just what is kurbvill an hour and
Speaker 2: forty five two hours and it's it's terrible.
Speaker 5: But stick with us.
Speaker 2: We're going to fill you in on some really good
Speaker 2: people that have stepped up that are helping out, how
Speaker 2: you can help out, and more so, stay with us.
Speaker 5: More coming up on Austin's eighty station one oh three
Speaker 5: point one.
Speaker 2: If you want to help out the victims of the
Speaker 2: flooding in the Hill Country, you can make a donation.
Speaker 2: You can go to community Foundation dot net. In this
Speaker 2: community Foundation dot net to fully vetted organization. It's been
Speaker 2: around since the early eighties and they're gonna get the
Speaker 2: money to the right people that need it. And boy,
Speaker 2: I tell you, I just am eternally grateful and always amazed.
Speaker 5: I shouldn't be because they do it all the time.
Speaker 2: What HGB does in situations like this, I don't know
Speaker 2: that I've ever known of a grocery store that's more
Speaker 2: locked into a community than chib is. And something that
Speaker 2: you may not know is that HIV started in Kerrville,
Speaker 2: Texas in nineteen oh five, and that's of course where
Speaker 2: the massive flooding and stuff took place, and they have
Speaker 2: deployed there. They have an entire team of people that
Speaker 2: are disaster relief people that load up their trucks and
Speaker 2: get them going before anyone asks them to to the
Speaker 2: places that are in need that need help.
Speaker 4: I saw a social media post somebody driving down the
Speaker 4: road videoing a convoy of what looked like eight or
Speaker 4: nine hib semi trucks I'm sure full of AID and
Speaker 4: seven or eight white trucks following in the convoy on
Speaker 4: their way to Kurvill to start helping where they could.
Speaker 4: They did that also deploy them in marble Balls San Angelo,
Speaker 4: and I believe Bernie is as well.
Speaker 2: Right in the back of those achib disaster relief right.
Speaker 2: I saw that same video.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, that's AID, a company that continues to amaze,
Speaker 3: like even when it's not disaster relief, what they do
Speaker 3: to a can do to a small Texas town when
Speaker 3: they come in they're unbelievable. And you know a lot
Speaker 3: of it's because it's it's still a family owned company, corporate,
Speaker 3: corporate this they wouldn't do that, they wouldn't have this budget,
Speaker 3: you know, set aside.
Speaker 5: Uh, just remarkable.
Speaker 3: When I saw that same clip here talking about Trisha,
Speaker 3: was like, doesn't surprise me at all. Really really amazing
Speaker 3: what they're doing. And you know, we'll try to find
Speaker 3: out more. I mean, I think they're just doing it
Speaker 3: out of their own pocket, Like because we wanted to
Speaker 3: find a good place for you to donate right where
Speaker 3: it's vetted and we know that it's going to be good.
Speaker 3: That Community Foundation that you mentioned, you know, they they
Speaker 3: dole out millions every year to grants wherever it's needed
Speaker 3: in Hill country.
Speaker 5: That's their thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, you know, Sandy did some research of
Speaker 3: we were trying to find the best place to send
Speaker 3: you because we all want to do something right right
Speaker 3: and so.
Speaker 5: Definitely believe in that HIB has stepped up. Here's their
Speaker 5: statement that they put out over the weekend.
Speaker 2: It says, our Achiv family is heartbreak broken by the
Speaker 2: enormous devastation and loss caused by the flooding in and
Speaker 2: around the Curveville area. We are grateful to the local authorities,
Speaker 2: first responders, and volunteers for their tireless efforts. Kurveville, where
Speaker 2: our companies started in the Hill Country, have a special
Speaker 2: place in the heart of the Atib family, a part
Speaker 2: of our initial outreach there. As part we are working
Speaker 2: closely with the Red Cross, local officials and first responders
Speaker 2: to support their needs. Additionally, as Tricia mentioned, we have
Speaker 2: sent aid to support efforts in San Angelo, Marble Falls
Speaker 2: and other impacted areas. Our team are staying close to
Speaker 2: the hardest hit areas and will continue to provide needed
Speaker 2: support as these tragic situations evolve. We hold compassion strength
Speaker 2: for everyone who's been impacted, and we remain committed to
Speaker 2: offer unwavering support to our communities. We will update this
Speaker 2: page with any development. So ATB Man, those guys, they
Speaker 2: get it.
Speaker 5: They do it right.
Speaker 3: Well, it's probably not just uh you know, I think
Speaker 3: the items needed for the victims who maybe lost their
Speaker 3: homes or whatever, but think of all the they're probably
Speaker 3: providing food and beverage and all this stuff for all
Speaker 3: the all the first responders.
Speaker 5: Yeah, then you know the the what is it, the
Speaker 5: I mean National Guard National Guard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're all they're all converging there and working around
Speaker 3: the clock and they need support.
Speaker 5: Right. Have you guys seen any of the rescue efforts, Yeah,
Speaker 5: were made. I mean that that water.
Speaker 4: There was one video of I could not tell that
Speaker 4: it was a woman or a little girl being rescued,
Speaker 4: but there are four or five of the responders with
Speaker 4: ropes trying to get her and the water was just
Speaker 4: raging around them. Like, I held my breath the entire
Speaker 4: time I watched that video. I mean, and they're just
Speaker 4: out there doing it, and they've made the statement that
Speaker 4: they're not going to stop until every single person is found.
Speaker 5: I mean, the pilots of those helicopters are amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, they've rescued probably hundreds. Yeah, I saw the
Speaker 3: last number I saw was too sixty something that they
Speaker 3: pulled out of there with with boats, with helicopters, with
Speaker 3: whatever they can.
Speaker 2: Right, it's and there's still what Patricia, did you say
Speaker 2: there were two young girls rescued as late as Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 4: I can't confirm it, but I did see a post
Speaker 4: that said two of the girls who are missing were
Speaker 4: rescued as late as Sunday afternoon high in a tree.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 4: And I have not been able to confirm that yet,
Speaker 4: but when I read it, Oh, please God, let it
Speaker 4: be true. Right, So it's not just a recovery effort.
Speaker 4: It's still it's still a full on rescue effort.
Speaker 5: Right. It's a sad story, very very stab. We're taking
Speaker 5: a quick break.
Speaker 2: More coming up on Austin's eighty station one o three
Speaker 2: point one.
Speaker 5: By days like day. It's days like today not fun
Speaker 5: days to.
Speaker 2: Be on the radio when we try to keep you
Speaker 2: updated and informed of how you can help out the
Speaker 2: people that have been affected by the devastating floods that
Speaker 2: happened in the hill country around Kerrville, along the Guadalupe River,
Speaker 2: even into Marble Falls, Leander. I mean it's it's really
Speaker 2: really widespread, even up into San Angelo. Just the flooding
Speaker 2: that happened is just been devastating and a lot of
Speaker 2: lives have been lost. We would encourage you, if you
Speaker 2: would like to help out, to go to Community Foundation
Speaker 2: dot net. That is Community Foundation dot net if you
Speaker 2: want to make a donation. A lot of people we
Speaker 2: were just talking a little bit ago, HGB has really
Speaker 2: stepped up our first responders national Guard Coastguard have done
Speaker 2: an amazing job and local authorities to there. They've JV
Speaker 2: mentioned they've they've rescued over two hundred people there. And
Speaker 2: there was a last night there was a candlelight village
Speaker 2: for a student at Casis Elementary.
Speaker 5: Is that right, JV.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they there was a vigil at like around seven
Speaker 3: o'clock last night at Casie's. There was a young girl
Speaker 3: who was from Casi's who passed away, Lenny McCown and
Speaker 3: I think she was in cabins with a friend of hers.
Speaker 3: I think they were friends. Mary Stevens is a young
Speaker 3: girl that went to Highland Park Elementary.
Speaker 5: But I just kept thinking about it.
Speaker 3: You know, my daughter would go to camp when she
Speaker 3: was eight, just like these girls. And if you're you know,
Speaker 3: if you have a kid at that age going to camp,
Speaker 3: chances are your child knows someone who might have passed
Speaker 3: in this right, there's a good odds yeah, which is
Speaker 3: you don't you don't want your ege year old child
Speaker 3: to know that's you know, somebody that from their school
Speaker 3: or a classmate or a friend has passed. They're just you know, young, innocent.
Speaker 3: It's just gut wrenching, but yeah, they had a candlelight
Speaker 3: vigil last night, and people just want to do something
Speaker 3: and they don't know what to do, right.
Speaker 4: They don't acknowledge and to help and to try and comfort.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, I mean camp for for our daughter.
Speaker 2: And I don't mean to make this about us, it's
Speaker 2: but it's just that's her jam, that's her thing, that's
Speaker 2: what she looks forward to.
Speaker 4: She said, it's her happiest place on earth is when
Speaker 4: she's at camp.
Speaker 2: Right, And she's gone to the same camps and she
Speaker 2: was seven years old, and campers make lifelong friends, they
Speaker 2: make what they call themselves camp friends, you know. In fact,
Speaker 2: Landry's brought it up several times when she's gone to
Speaker 2: different places and she finds out that another girl went
Speaker 2: to the same camp that she went to.
Speaker 5: H they talked about it.
Speaker 2: It's a bond, instant connection, right, and I just you know,
Speaker 2: we talked about it earlier.
Speaker 5: And the I just can't imagine being the parents of these.
Speaker 4: Camp I can't getting that call, yeah and knowing.
Speaker 2: Right, and then the I think it was JB. Was
Speaker 2: it you that said or Tricia that said? Oh was
Speaker 2: Tricia that said? These young counselors, Yeah, that are being
Speaker 2: put in a position to make big decisions to save
Speaker 2: people's lives.
Speaker 4: Right, our daughter, this is her first year being a
Speaker 4: camp counselor. She's sixteen, and she had to go through
Speaker 4: an emergency training class before she was allowed to do it.
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's anything that could prepare you
Speaker 4: for what those camp counselors had to do right when
Speaker 4: the flooding started coming through and at you know, such
Speaker 4: a young age taking care of little kids.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just as terrifying, you know, it's important.
Speaker 2: There were a lot of people that are relatively new
Speaker 2: to Texas and maybe they haven't been in the whole
Speaker 2: country and wonder why does it flood like that because
Speaker 2: it's just all rock.
Speaker 5: It's just there's no top.
Speaker 3: Stairs, nowhere to go, and there's all these creeks and
Speaker 3: rivers that feed into right Lake Travis, Canyon Lake you.
Speaker 5: Know, they'll be j which is a constant level.
Speaker 2: Lake was up, you know over the weekend, and Lake
Speaker 2: Travis is of course rising as we speak and will
Speaker 2: continue to rise probably for a week. But it just
Speaker 2: was one of those tropical depressions that came and just
Speaker 2: sat over top of them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was watching it on the radar and.
Speaker 3: When it was going down, it just was circling around
Speaker 3: and dumping in the same spot.
Speaker 2: Right, and again we've said it before, but hats off
Speaker 2: to the people that are there doing the work, you know,
Speaker 2: the rescue teams, the Coast Guard, the National Guard and everybody.
Speaker 2: We mentioned AGV earlier that they've have sent their disaster
Speaker 2: really people. Waterburger is also helping out. You have that info,
Speaker 2: U huh.
Speaker 4: Water Burger said that they are providing they're going to
Speaker 4: the areas most affected and they're providing meals to the
Speaker 4: first responders and the community, the leaders and the rescuers
Speaker 4: who are out there helping save people and find people.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: You can make a donation if you want to help out.
Speaker 2: Community Foundation dot net. That's Community Foundation dot net. It's
Speaker 2: a fully betted organization that's been around for over forty
Speaker 2: years that they give grants to people that are in
Speaker 2: need in the Hill Country and there's going to be
Speaker 2: a lot of people that need help and just the
Speaker 2: have you seen the aerial photography before and afters it's
Speaker 2: insane of that area.
Speaker 5: It's mind blowing to.
Speaker 3: Think that all that but in the homes that are
Speaker 3: going to need to be rebuilt. The businesses you know
Speaker 3: that are going to need to be rebuilt. You know
Speaker 3: that it's a small community that they're gonna have to
Speaker 3: rebuild a lot of things.
Speaker 2: But man, and I just got to say, I don't
Speaker 2: it's a little early to start pointing fingers at people. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it's really in bad form to start doing
Speaker 2: that right now.
Speaker 5: And it's happening.
Speaker 2: I've seen it online, people pointing fingers at other people
Speaker 2: for what happened. I just think it's there's a time
Speaker 2: and a place for that. I don't think it's right
Speaker 2: now now.
Speaker 3: I don't when a river rises twenty six feet in
Speaker 3: forty five minutes and there's there's there was not time.
Speaker 5: There just wasn't time for right to do anything.
Speaker 2: You well, you you said it earlier, and you really
Speaker 2: put a picture in my head of saying that someone
Speaker 2: in his RV woke up to two feet of water
Speaker 2: in his RV.
Speaker 5: So that means on the.
Speaker 2: Ground that was yeah, there's a few feet, Yeah, there's
Speaker 2: a few more.
Speaker 3: Feet in A foot of rushing water can push a
Speaker 3: car off a road. Yeah, Just to give you an idea,
Speaker 3: so you step out of your RV or your cabin
Speaker 3: and you're in rushing water full of debris.
Speaker 4: Like That's one of the things that's so scary about
Speaker 4: it is all the debris that is in the water,
Speaker 4: not just the wall of water and the rushing water,
Speaker 4: but all of the debris that it's picked up on
Speaker 4: the way down.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that can just can just knock you out. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I saw a fire truck getting washed away, right, fire right.
Speaker 3: Right, And you know that that camp's been around forever.
Speaker 3: They've they've seen this, they've seen flooding and water's rise,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, but not not like again,
Speaker 3: it happened in the middle of the night. But you know,
Speaker 3: if you if you know, as storm cells come and
Speaker 3: they're probably like, okay, yeah we've seen this, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, but not at this magnitude.
Speaker 2: Right, And those those camps, I know that just again
Speaker 2: drawing to our own experience, those camps are ultra ultra
Speaker 2: cautious with things, with safety, with things, and this being
Speaker 2: being one of them.
Speaker 3: So it wasn't the owner the owner of the camp
Speaker 3: pass trying to save kids.
Speaker 4: Trying to save kids camp I think seventy year old man.
Speaker 4: He was a former ut I think athlete, our coach,
Speaker 4: Jack Eastman, yes his name.
Speaker 5: I didn't know that he was there trying to He
Speaker 5: and his family have been running it that Camp Mystic.
Speaker 4: I mean there are there are about fifty camps along
Speaker 4: the Guadaloupe River, right, Camp Mystic is the one that
Speaker 4: seems to be getting the most attention. I think it
Speaker 4: sustained the most casualties and fatalities.
Speaker 5: But yeah, his the Eastman or east Land families.
Speaker 4: Eastland, they've been running it for a while, like his
Speaker 4: daughters and son in laws and sons and daughters in
Speaker 4: laws like live on the property and have been running
Speaker 4: it for years.
Speaker 5: And he was there trying to help save kids. Wow.
Speaker 4: And the director of the camp I believe she passed
Speaker 4: away as well, trying to help save children.
Speaker 5: Unbelievable. We'll take a break. It's an incredibly sad story.
Speaker 2: Again, if you do want to help out, Community Foundation
Speaker 2: dot net. This is Austin's eight station one O three
Speaker 2: point one. Tough day to be on the radio with
Speaker 2: the flooding in the Hill Country and actually all around
Speaker 2: central Texas and even north up into San Angelo in
Speaker 2: that area. As we've spent quite a bit of time
Speaker 2: talking about, you know, Camp Mystic and the Guadali River,
Speaker 2: Curville and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: But there's also been flooding a little closer to home.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: A bunch of mobile home parks along the south fork
Speaker 2: of the San Gabriel River were evacuated early on Saturday.
Speaker 2: They said about fifteen one hundred messages out telling people
Speaker 2: to evacuate, and a lot of people did. They were
Speaker 2: just out knocking on doors.
Speaker 3: The Sheriff's Shady Shady River RV Park off Highway twenty nine,
Speaker 3: just east of Georgetown. Yeah, got hammered. And you think
Speaker 3: about it too, Like I'm an RV yere. I don't
Speaker 3: currently have one, but I've had one for twenty years
Speaker 3: up until last year. And you get a lot of
Speaker 3: elderly people. Yeah, and those RV parks and it just
Speaker 3: happened so fast, and you can't just hitch up and go,
Speaker 3: you know, you just jump in your truck or whatever,
Speaker 3: or if they're even if they are RVs that are
Speaker 3: you know, like I always had a towble, but if
Speaker 3: you have a US, like everything, it takes a while.
Speaker 5: You can't just go out to a hook and all
Speaker 5: that and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, but I mean this is happening in Williamson County,
Speaker 2: Burning County, Travis County.
Speaker 5: Everywhere, and it's just crazy.
Speaker 3: I just yesterday I was seeing some of the footage
Speaker 3: of Shoal Creek, which has a pretty narly history. If
Speaker 3: you've been in Austin a long time, there's a lot
Speaker 3: of flooding on South Lamar that can happen. They've done
Speaker 3: a lot of improvements on that creek to prevent that.
Speaker 3: But Walnut Creek was where it was dumping into Ladybird
Speaker 3: Lake was insane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was on I drove down Caesar Shavez Saturday morning.
Speaker 2: I was beating JB for coffee and I just looked
Speaker 2: at Ladybird Lake. It was clearly higher than normal. Really
Speaker 2: on Saturday morning it was up and that's normally a
Speaker 2: pretty constant level, but it was it was up quite
Speaker 2: a bit.
Speaker 3: So, Yeah, there's a because I use that trail a lot,
Speaker 3: you know, you know the little spiraling walkway that you
Speaker 3: see right near Tomar Yeah, and Caesar Shavos. When you
Speaker 3: go up that those stairs to that pedestrian bridge, there's
Speaker 3: a marker of where it hit in two thousand and one.
Speaker 5: Oh, I've seen that marker. Yeah, and it's frightening how
Speaker 5: high that is.
Speaker 3: Wow, Yeah, you know that's uh, it could yeah, it
Speaker 3: could flood downtown, you know. So, I mean they have
Speaker 3: made a lot of improvement, but it's it's bad. It's
Speaker 3: bad everywhere, all these creeks and rivers. You just don't
Speaker 3: want to mess with low water crossings. You don't. I
Speaker 3: don't care what you're driving.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've joked around in the past about turnaround,
Speaker 2: don't drown, but it's for real. Yeah, it's definitely for real.
Speaker 2: It's just a little bit six inches of water can
Speaker 2: carry you away.
Speaker 5: I mean less than that, right can do that.
Speaker 4: But there have been rescues, people swept away in fatalities
Speaker 4: in almost each of those counties that we mentioned.
Speaker 5: Really yeah, yes.
Speaker 2: So we've been mentioning it all all morning long. And
Speaker 2: if you want to make a donation, especially to the
Speaker 2: people in the Hill Country I've been affected by this,
Speaker 2: go to Community Foundation dot net a big shout out.
Speaker 2: As we mentioned HB doing what they always do and
Speaker 2: helping out waterburger feeding, feeding first responders and rescue teams.
Speaker 5: Kendrascott Kindrick Scott jumped in. Yep.
Speaker 4: She put one of her bracelets online the Everline bracelet
Speaker 4: and said that one hundred percent of the proceeds from
Speaker 4: the sale of those bracelets are going to go directly
Speaker 4: to the people who need to help the most, and
Speaker 4: then she did an update that said the overwhelming response
Speaker 4: those Everline bracelets sold out immediately. They're working to get
Speaker 4: more back online, but you can still always go into
Speaker 4: their stores and purchase one, and again, one hundred percent
Speaker 4: of the proceeds from each of those bracelets, it goes
Speaker 4: to the most immediate needs for the victims of families
Speaker 4: and the communities.
Speaker 5: Well, that's great, Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2: It's so cool to see local people and businesses stepping
Speaker 2: up and doing what they can, you know, I mean
Speaker 2: a GB I hope we never take them for granted,
Speaker 2: like all the amazing stuff that they do Waaberger, Kinder
Speaker 2: Scott and there's probably dozens and dozens more that we
