WHEREAS, Those individuals who step forward to help in times |
|
|
of crisis are indeed worthy of admiration, and Mitchell Crow of |
|
|
Dallas distinguished himself through his selfless service to his |
|
|
fellow Texans during Winter Storm Uri; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While collecting supplies in preparation for the |
|
|
record low temperatures that the February 2021 storm would bring, |
|
|
Mr. Crow, a junior at Lakehill Preparatory School, noticed a group |
|
|
of people without shelter enduring the cold, and he was inspired to |
|
|
help; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After asking his neighbors for donations on social |
|
|
media, Mr. Crow coordinated the pickup of hundreds of items, |
|
|
including jackets, blankets, shoes, and long-sleeved shirts, and he |
|
|
collected $700 to purchase additional cold weather supplies; he |
|
|
then took the donations to Austin Street Shelter, where staff |
|
|
distributed the items to people who were turned away after the |
|
|
shelter reached capacity; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Demonstrating exceptional initiative and |
|
|
resourcefulness during a time of crisis, Mitchell Crow dedicated |
|
|
time and resources to help those in need, and he is indeed deserving |
|
|
of special recognition for his efforts; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor Mitchell Crow for his outstanding service |
|
|
during Winter Storm Uri and commend him on a job well done; and, be |
|
|
it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Crow as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
