They have walked at least twenty two miles just going
through debris step by step with saws everything they need
to see if they can help out in the search
and relief effort. They're bringing in dogs as well, which
will help better to locate things. So just an unbelievable
amount of work that needs to be done and they

need our help. Now, we have set up the Kirk
County Flood Relief Fund. You can find all the details

is made up of veterans, first responders, volunteers with search
and rescue experience, and just people with a simple desire
to want to help. Lewis says he grew up in
the area. He knows people in the hunt comfort areas,
and he sees they're all coming together helping to give
(03:02):
these devastated families some closure. They are bringing in dogs
now to help in location efforts, and the counties are
coming together offering hope where it's needed the most. It's

he says, they're what they call first impactors. Cowboy Davis
traveled the nation responding to disaster, spreading love and positivity.
He uses spray paint and creates signs that he then
spreads around the community, and it could be anything pieces
of metal, discarded appliance, as even large rocks. He says,
(03:45):
there's signs that, just for a minute, let you know
that someone else cares about you and you're not alone.
He's known for creating his Heart's Hurt picture. He says
it's to acknowledge that it's our time of morning. We

Dave left is recognized creation. It's a healed heart that
says Texas strong, with Kerrville hunt ingram on the sides.
