It has been a devastating summer for us - I know the disability community took quite a hit with Harvey.
Some of you are still displaced - and children with special needs have been forced to find new schools.
Some organizations have been wonderful and stepped up...we definitely know who to depend on...

I know there are issues still with housing...accessible housing is an issue.

Many people are working on these issues and we have learned so much....

I want to take the time to wish you a Blessed Holiday Season and lets pray no hurricanes this 2018.

HELLO
ITS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I DUSTED THIS OFF FOR YOU ALL
I'm on other platforms now (people actually respond which is good)
I did get this from a friend of mine over at NWS partnering with Harris County
Its for our WIND CHILL ALERT - which we dont get often.
HOWEVER, IF you are DEAF or now anyone who is, please pass this important information along.

Also, if you are a person or know of anyone who is dependent on electricity to live, please begin to make
alternative plans in case the power does go down. Mine went down today for 5 hours just with a bit of wind gust...

So take care my friends - its gonna get bitterly cold and please prepare
