Youth at Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health Texas – well aware of Hurricane Harvey’s impact two
years ago on Devereux Texas’ Victoria and League City campuses – launched a toy
drive to benefit children in the Bahamas recovering from Hurricane Dorian in
September.
This fall, students placed
collection boxes around Devereux Texas’ Victoria campus and in the community. In
just two weeks, the students collected more than 150 stuffed animals, games and
other toys to be shipped to the Bahamas.
“We are extremely proud
of our students for leading this community service project – and our staff for
rallying around their efforts,” said Devereux Texas Victoria Campus
Administrator Richard Perkins. “Our
youth learned about the importance of Servant Leadership and putting the needs
of others first. The compassion and generosity they displayed for the children
in the Bahamas was extraordinary.”
Recognizing the needs of others
For students and staff at
Devereux Texas’ Victoria campus, memories of Hurricane Harvey came rushing back
after learning about the devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian.
Rising floodwaters from
the August 2017 storm forced the evacuation of both the Victoria and League City campuses near Houston that
serve the needs of more than 200 children, adolescents and adults with
emotional, behavioral and cognitive differences.
“Unfortunately, our
students and staff are familiar with the danger and destruction of a hurricane,
and were eager to lend a helping hand to our friends in the Bahamas,” explained
Perkins. “Our students enjoyed seeing the donations pile up, and were filled
with a sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing their actions made a positive
impact on someone else’s life in their time of need.”
