A MESSAGE FROM Samantha
On July 4, 2025, twenty seven girls lost their lives in the floods at Camp Mystic. Each was unique, yet all were remembered for their kindness, generosity, and the way they lifted others with love and joy. To carry that spirit forward, their families created Heaven’s 27 Foundation.

  • In honor of Heavens 27 made a $27.00 donation

    I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Team27 in support of Heavens 27, and I’m committed to raising at least $1,000 and hopefully even more!!! I’ll be running the Chevron Houston Half Marathon this January, and I’d be so grateful for your support as I take on this meaningful challenge. Every contribution is a heartfelt tribute to the young girls whose lives were tragically cut short in the Texas Hill Country floods this past summer.
