Hey Y'all,
For those that don't know, we at The Manatee Manor call Central Texas home. Through the miracle of modern communications and the technological breakthroughs of the last half a century, we are able to be integral in helping make memories for families all over the world.
But Central Texas is our home.
For those that don't know, there was recently a flash flood the likes one usually sees only once in a generation.
We haven't posted in a few days as we reflect on WHAT to say. Well, here it is. I know we have followers all over the world, so if everyone would please keep Texas in your hearts and prayers while our community works through this with the amazing help that is pouring in from everywhere.
A fun way to help would be to support James Avery, who called the epicenter of the flooding "home". Please consider helping when and where you can, and remember that hitting that "share" button is free.

Update, July 8: We’re humbled by the support you’ve shown our friends and family in the Texas Hill Country and surrounding areas. The Deep in the Heart of Texas Charm sold out faster than we could have imagined.
We’re now taking backorders and remain committed to donating proceeds from both the sterling silver and 14K gold charms ordered through August 4.
Our facilities in the Hill Country reopened today, and we’ve begun crafting more charms. It may take up to six weeks or longer to fulfill all orders.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support.

The recent floods in the Texas Hill Country and surrounding areas have had a devastating impact on our cherished hometown of Kerrville, TX. In response, we are committing $1 million to support urgent needs in the community and the road to recovery ahead, focusing on food, shelter, mental health care, and other critical needs as they emerge.
Additionally, from now until August 4, 100% of the proceeds from the "Deep in the Heart of Texas" charm will be donated to relief efforts in our community and surrounding areas. This charm has always celebrated the pride and resilience of our state, and now, it carries a deeper meaning.
To all those affected, we send our love, strength, and heartfelt prayers. And to the first responders and neighbors who have stepped in with open hands and open hearts, we offer our deepest gratitude.
