For the past two weeks the United States has been plagued by the devastation of Hurricane Harvey. The lone star state of Texas was predominately impacted leaving thousands of citizens homeless, without food, and trying to maintain. Hurricane Harvey is the most impactful hurricane the United States has experienced in nearly ten years as the state and surrounding area has been flooded and destructed due to strength of this natural disaster. Making matters worst, the citizens and their families are struggling each day to try and rebuild their lives and regain some safety in the area. Homes, pets, and businesses have been left behind as they wait for the return of security and safety.
As the development of Hurricane Harvey continues there has been several issues surrounding the support of the victims in order to provide hurricane relief for Texans. The finger has been pointed in every direction
on who is and isn't supposed to be providing the bulk of the support for these tireless victims. So, who's responsibility is it to help these people regain their livelihood and recover from a natural disaster such as this one? Government? Leaders? Public Figures?
While millions of dollars have been raised in efforts to help by celebrities, athletes, and not-for-profit organizations such as the Red Cross, it seems as though one of the main focuses of us as a society is who should be contributing the most as opposed to what we've already been able to accomplish and gain thus far. Instead of being concerned about why Joel Olsteen isn't opening up his mega-church's doors, let's focus on those individuations and groups who are putting forth endless efforts to rebuild the state of Texas. It's so easy to look at the negative when everything seems to be going wrong, but a grain of faith is all we need to make a change and make a difference.
There is hope for Texas.
