With the exception of the loss of the Galveston market center – which will re-open in a temporary space – most of the market centers that were in the path of Hurricane Ike are intact and slowly returning to business as power is restored. Some areas of Houston and Conroe will be without power for a longer period of time as major electrical transformers are being rebuilt.
By and large, our associates living in Galveston still have not been able to return to assess the damage to their homes. Many of our associates in Houston and along the Texas Gulf Coast have suffered devastating losses.
KW Cares is providing financial assistance to Keller Williams evacuees and other associates who are experiencing financial hardship due to the storm. The outpouring of support has been particularly strong among our Gulf States region.
How can you help?
1. Donate to KW Cares!
2. If you have temporary housing to offer, please contact us at www.kwcares.org
3. Adopt a hurricane victim. Please let us know if your market center can help a hurricane victim through fund-raisers, donated items or moral support.
4. Send a gift card from Wal-Mart, Target, Lowe’s or Home Depot to KW Cares, c/o Chris Streppa, 807 Las Cimas Pkwy, Suite 200, Austin, TX 78746. These would be extremely appreciated to help evacuees replace lost items.
