Help is pouring in to support the rebuilding of the Texas Hill Country in the wake of historic and deadly flooding, and a man with North Texas ties is leading that effort.

Along with the relief funds working to rebuild Kerr County, volunteers are giving away hundreds of meals to first responders and community members in need.

In Kerr County, five days have passed since the Guadalupe River rushed over its banks, killing more than 80 and leaving an unknown number of people missing.

Dickson is a TCU grad overseeing the main relief fund for the Kerr County area.
