I have so much to say about the State of Texas’s lack of preparation for Hurricane or Tropical Storm Beryl, but supposedly I am a lady.
However, I can say that I am disappointed that the designated centers here in Trinity were not open for its residents.
Thank God for angels of mercy; I know there were many who took care of their friends, families, and neighbors. I know a good Samaritan who took care of a 94-year-old veteran who has been paralyzed since he was 19 years old, and I don’t know how she did it.
I know of one church that held its VBS program last week for the children to come and have fun and be cool. They had a generator. Thank you, Dorcas Wills Memorial Baptist Church, for your generosity and caring. Please report other heroes to me so I can publicly thank them too in the upcoming issues.
Again, thank you Liberty Christian Center, Remnant Faith, Ladies in Action, Burning Hope Baptist Church, Loaves and Fishes, and Martin Senior Citizen Center for sponsoring the facilities that help our Trinity Community. You are the best heroes every week, Beryl or no Beryl.
