TEXAS — More than 100 homes in Ingram were impacted by the most recent July flood. Volunteers with Samaritan’s Purse are back like they never left.
“Continue to pray for this community,” said Samaritan’s Purse program manager Jaime Keoshian. “They are in need of some help, trying to get back up on their feet.”
Like the ribbons tied around many of the area’s trees, the fabric of Kerr County is frayed again. This time, there are more than 700 flood-damaged homes.
“We arrived just a couple of days after the flooding occurred,” Keoshian said. “We had been here just a year ago and really hadn’t left the area.”
Samaritan’s Purse, a faith-based disaster relief organization, has deployed volunteers across the Texas Hill Country, helping homeowners take the first steps.
“Sheetrock, flooring, any furniture that’s been damaged,” Keoshian said. “All those types of things that just soak up the water. So, we want to pull that all out for them and get their home contract-ready.”
So far, Keoshian said Samaritan’s Purse has helped 73 Kerrville families “muck and gut out” damage in their homes. Down the road in the town of Ingram, a team assisted a couple who helped folks in the neighboring town of Hunt after the 2025 flood.
“They are needing help with putting insulation back in,” Keoshian said. “Sheetrock back up. New flooring put down. We want these homeowners to know they are not forgotten.”
