Hope comes to Matador’s Brooke Brandon who still fearfully recalls the day — June 21, 2023 — a tornado ripped through the West Texas town of Matador. Her town. Her home. The home her parents built in 1963 and she and her siblings inherited.
“All I did was scream and pray,” she recalls. She remembers hearing wind and the sound of glass breaking, but “I don’t remember anything else, really. It’s just really loud.”
The tornado had touched down about nine miles from the city and moved quickly over the Texas Caprock into Matador, taking out businesses and homes. She and her neighbors were directly in its path. The home of the couple who lived next door “was leveled,” she says.
Texans on Mission started rebuilding efforts in June and is approaching the final project phase with your help this December so Brooke can get her life back to some semblance of normalcy. Our scope of work in November will be to complete the tape, bed and texture with painting on both the exterior and interior of the home, weather permitting.
Lodging is available. Dinner will be provided.
