Here at CASA of Bell and Coryell Counties, our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our incredible advocates,\u00a0Kim Chambers, and her husband Robert, stepped up in a remarkable way.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>After learning about the need, Kim connected with our generous community partner, Tina Capito &amp; Garden of Hope, to help coordinate and deliver donated items to families in the Hill Country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Kim, the devastation hit especially close to home.\u00a0The child she advocates for was directly impacted by the disaster and had to be rescued by helicopter. Even amidst the chaos, Kim remained in close contact, doing everything she could to ensure the child was safe, supported and not lost in the system. Her dedication didn\u2019t stop there \u2014 she worked tirelessly to collect donations, organize supplies and deliver them where they were needed most.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id43156_864ef2-30 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id43156_864ef2-30 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >
