We bring back Michelle G. on this episode to talk about what is going on in Texas. Michelle states "Right now we are dealing with multiple things, people still without electricity, no water, contaminated water, boil water notices around the state, pipes bursting with temperature increase, icy roads, some populations having to go to already overfilled hospitals to get electricity for dialysis and breathing machines, stores running out of food staples and bottled water. It’s a mess and we could use all the help we can get!- We also need plumbers in the upcoming days"

We did this episode to bring awareness. We list some organizations, mutual aids, and community help centers that we know about. Below is some of the resources we spoke about. As well you can go to the BrunchTalks Website to find a list of all these sources, and we will keep updated it.
