Volunteers with Samaritan\u2019s Purse are back like they never left.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cContinue to pray for this community,\u201d said Samaritan\u2019s Purse program manager Jaime Keoshian. \u201cThey are in need of some help, trying to get back up on their feet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like the ribbons tied around many of the area\u2019s trees, the fabric of Kerr County is frayed again. This time, there are more than 700 flood-damaged homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe arrived just a couple of days after the flooding occurred,\u201d Keoshian said. \u201cWe had been here just a year ago and really hadn\u2019t left the area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Samaritan\u2019s Purse, a faith-based disaster relief organization, has deployed volunteers across the Texas Hill Country, helping homeowners take the first steps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSheetrock, flooring, any furniture that\u2019s been damaged,\u201d Keoshian said. \u201cAll those types of things that just soak up the water.
