Giving to those more than a thousand miles away who are in desperate need of generosity.

"You never know when it's going to be yourself that's in a bad situation and if you can give, why not," said Janelle Brown, made donation.

Hurricane Harvey left devastation in parts of Texas and Louisiana. Homes were flooded and lives were lost.



"I work for waste management and I know our headquarters was hit down there really bad and so a lot of our people are struggling," said Brown.

For Brown, there was never any hesitation to help. She there was never any hesitation to help.

"We're one nation and it's important that we help each other," said Brown.
