As a retired combat veteran, I have a deep appreciation for the men and women who keep going when they’re exhausted because there’s a job to do and people are depending on them. I know the kind of strength it takes to keep showing up under those conditions, and I’m incredibly grateful for every one of them out there protecting our communities from the Ross fire.
I’ve personally experienced the difference Freedom Wellness + Hydration can make. They’ve helped me after long days working outside in this Texas heat, and I’m grateful they’re able to use what they do to support the men and women working these fires.
It’s been awesome watching our community come together. People have brought water, food, supplies, donated their time and resources, and stepped up however they can. Every bit of it matters.
To all of the firefighters and first responders out there, thank you for everything you’re doing. Stay safe and know there are a whole lot of people behind you.
‼️ Please share this and help get it in front of the crews who could use it.
Our hearts are breaking for everyone around us fighting the fires! We wish there was more we could do to help. If anyone fighting the fires needs hydration, we will come to you, no charge.
If you’re looking for ways to help, this is from a volunteer FD in Possum Kingdom, as of 8:50am: “We are fully supplied. People have donated in droves. What we need now is donations. We have burnt our fire hoses and tires and broke trucks. As this continues I’ll let you know is supplies run low.”
