Support Amanda and Kids After Hurricane Loss

My name is Amanda Waltos and I live in Pearland, TX, a suburb of the greater Houston metro. Hurricane Beryl hit my property as a Category 1 Hurricane with substantial wind and rain. I am raising money for myself and my family.

In just under 4 hours, my area was hit with nearly 10 inches of rain. My home began taking water in at 4:30 am on Monday, July 8, 2024. By 10:30 am, I needed to be rescued from my home as the water was rising in every room. There was a tree blocking my road and we had to wade through knee high water to get to dry land.

The exterior of my property resembled a river with currents passing through the water. The home took in about 12” of water and caused damage to all of my personal property. Over the past week, I have worked to get the debris cleared from my home and as of July 16, 2024, I was informed by my landlord that I need to remove all property from the home and that the home will be unlivable for 6 or more weeks.

Unfortunately, my renter’s insurance does not cover any type of flood damage, including wind and rain from hurricanes. While my home damage will be covered by my landlord’s property insurance, my personal property is a full loss for me.

Currently, I’m asking for donations to assist with the following:

• Temporary Living Expenses

• Food replacement

• All items, including furniture, for my 6-year-old and 12-year-old daughters, they lost their entire bedrooms in the flood.

• Clothing, blankets, bedding, towels

• Living room furniture – total loss during the flood

• Kitchen furniture, table, chairs, etc
