Beryl drenched Houston with a summer’s worth of rain and brought 75 mph winds with gusts even higher. Over 13 inches of rain fell in some parts of the Houston area. 15 inches is the average for June, July and August. More than 2.4 million customers lost power across the state of Texas during the storm. At least six people between ages of 50 and 78 died because they didn’t have power to combat against the state’s powerful summer heat.

In response, Megan and her Pete and Thomas Foundation are working with Bread of Life to provide free generators to vulnerable senior citizens in the Houston area.

“It’s been painful to watch the elderly population in Houston suffer without electricity during these devastating storms,” Megan said in a statement. “That’s why we wanted to partner with Bread of Life to take a strategic approach to this problem and secure generators to help protect our senior citizens. We need to do our part to provide our elders with the best resources possible to withstand future emergencies.”

According to KHOU11 , Megan created the Pete and Thomas Foundation non-profit in 2022 to uplift and assist women, children, the elderly and other communities that are commonly underserved.
