My heart aches for Texas.
Seeing the devastation and the loss that so many have suffered at the hands of Hurricane Harvey left me wondering one question:
How can I help? What can I do?
Unfortunately, I’m unable to travel there to assist in person and money is tight for me.
The best thing I can do right now, is to donate items I can and donate money to those that are there right now, working for change, to help, and to aid. And of course, constantly send love and good vibes in my thoughts to everyone who has been affected.
I had donated money to Harvey relief already, but I had this growing feeling that it wasn’t enough. But what else could I do?
The next day. my writing partner & bestie Brian LeTendre approached me with the Pizza for Texas idea. It was brilliant. He is brilliant. And I knew right away, that this was something we had to do.
HERE’S HOW TO BE A PART OF THE #PIZZAFORTEXAS HELPING HAND:
1. From 9/6/17 to 9/8/17 you can get A PIZZA MY HEART pizza anthology for FREE. 100% free right here on Amazon. The anthology holds tales of mystery, murder, happiness, love, and more.
2. Once you get your free book, head right over to your favorite charity or business that is helping aid Hurricane Harvey relief in Texas and make a donation. Most of you know that I’m a huge animal lover, my first donation was to the Texas ASPCA, who are currently assisting with animal transfers, food & supplies, and sheltering pets of evacuated families until they can be reunited with their families.
Choose a charity, a cause, that means something to you. And donate whatever you can. 50 cents. The cost of the book $2.99. Or more if you are willing and able!
3. Enjoy your free anthology and feel proud that you did something awesome to help others.
If you can do more, great! Good for you!
And if you can’t do more than this, great! Good for you!
We all have our limits and we all want to do something to help people and animals in need. I’m so proud of you for helping do what you can.
