As many of you know, Texas is in a state of an emergency. Many people have been without power and or water for 36 hours or more. Fortunately, we have been able to meet the needs of most of Operation Progress Fort Worth families.

However, one of our families is in dire need. Shiloh is a 5th grade OPFW scholar. A fire started in her room, which has left their home unlivable. Fortunately, Shiloh and her sister, who share a room, and are not physically harmed (although they are very emotional). Everything inside of the girl's room was destroyed. The family of 5 are standing on their faith, but the reality of the situation has been overwhelming at times.

The most pressing concern is shelter. The family's hotel reservation ends tomorrow morning and hotel availability is limited throughout the state.

Please keep Texas residents, especially this family, in your thoughts and prayers. This OPFW Give Link will allow you to make an online donation to support the Gilliam family.
