After a tornado destroyed home in Valley View volunteers from all over Texas pulled together to help the communities and their neighbors.
Volunteers from all over the state donated supplies and their time to take care of the Valley View community.
Jamie Hurley of Krum pulled up in his muddied gray Ford pickup with a trailer hitched to it. Before he fully hit the brakes, volunteers in neon yellow vests ran to the bed and began unloading bread and baby food. “We love people and helping people,” Operation Texas Strong founder Bobby Crutsinger said. “In a disaster like this we’re all neighbors and give back to those in need.”They had 48 cases stacked high on a trailer, Crutsinger said, when he took a tight turn some of the cases toppled over.“It almost brought tears to my eyes,” he said. “People dealing with just losing their house stopped and helped us. Everybody pulls together no matter what.
“Alright. Do you want to come see your temporary home?” Hurley said as he walked over to David Vickery and handed him the keys. The two walked inside and before celebrating began talking logistics about septic hookups and air conditioning.
