Actor, director, writer, and producer of film, television, and theater Lou Diamond Phillips will be appearing at University of Texas at Arlington as part of their Maverick Speaker Series on Thursday, September 7, 2017 at 7:30pm. This fundraiser will benefit students affected by Hurricane Harvey.
Earlier today, I was explaining to someone how inspired I was feeling about the wonderful outpouring of support for our neighbors in Houston and coastal Texas areas. In the course of the discussion, I was reminded that we all deal differently with crisis in our lives. Those impacted by Hurricane Harvey need the basics and financial support for sure, but they also need emotional support, particularly if they have kids. Just imagine how parents must feel having to be displaced from their homes, schools, businesses and jobs, but, on top of that, having to take care of and entertain their kids too.
